Laser Microscope Reveals Gene Splicing Process

Researchers working at Jeff Gelles' Lab at Brandeis University have discovered a way to use lasers that will help them splice pre-messenger RNA molecules, which is a pre-requisite in the development of proteins that supports advanced organisms such as human life. This process is facilitated by spliceosome, which is a cellular micro-machine.

Researchers Use Nanowhiskers to Create Skeletal Muscle Tissue

Researchers working at the University of Manchester have found that tiny whiskers of nanoscale sizes extracted from marine life could help develop muscle tissue for humans.
