Study proposes a low cost, high efficiency mask design
Washington [US], March 2 (ANI): A new paper in Oxford Open Materials Science, published by Oxford University Press, presents low-cost modifications to existing N95 masks that prolongs their effectiveness and improves their reusability post disinfectants.
Glacial period impacted crocodile evolution: Study
Ottawa [Canada], February 28 (ANI): During a recent study, researchers from McGill University discovered that the genomes of Caribbean and Pacific crocodiles in Panama were impacted due to sea-level changes during the Ice Age.
CRISPR could turn genes on and off with help of nanobodies
Washington (US), February 25 (ANI): Researchers from Stanford during an experimental combo designed to extend the efficacy of two promising molecular tools, attached biological nanobodies to the CRISPR DNA editing tool. The genetic tool, CRISPR has been likened to molecular scissors for its ability to snip out and replace genetic code within DNA.
