Buzz-Off: New gene technology developed to stop mosquitoes from spreading malaria

Genetically modified mosquito concept

Scientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a mosquito suppression system, Ifegenia, that uses CRISPR technology to eliminate females Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, the main transmitters of malaria in Africa. The system disrupts a gene that controls the sexual development of mosquitoes, thus halting the spread of the disease. The researchers are optimistic … Read more

The mutation in the superior gene linked to autism can alter the eye reflex

A slice of the cerebellum

Reflex Inversion: Counteracting the effects of an SCN2A mutation in the mouse cerebellum (left) helps restore the eye reflex in adolescent mice. An impaired eye reflex can distinguish children with mutations in SCN2A, one of the genes most strongly linked to autism, according to a new preprint. The simple test researchers used to analyze … Read more

Research uncovers link between complement factor H gene and idiopathic MFC

fgnoppornstock.adobe.com A locus in complement factor H (CFH extension) gene is linked to the development of idiopathic multifocal choroiditis (MFC), research published today in JAMA Ophthalmology suggest. The results of the case-control study also showed that the complement and coagulation pathways may represent potential key targets for the treatment of idiopathic MFC. MFC is a … Read more
