We've got some more disease-resistant rice!
UC Davis and many international scientists have used CRISPR to create a new cultivar that is broadly resistant to many diseases.
The gene Resistance To Blast 1 (RBL1), when knocked out, improved resistance, but lowered yields 20 fold. So a mutated allele was made instead to keep the benefits and lose the downsides.

Scientists successfully transfer a longevity gene of naked mole rats into mice, leading to enhanced health and a longer lifespan for the mice.
Naked mole rats rarely contract diseases as they age, including neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The longevity gene that was discovered is responsible for making hyaluronic acid. "Our next goal is to transfer this benefit to humans."
Bees, like all other organisms, have a lot of parasites. And it is likely that these are the main contributors to issues like colony collapse disorder (CCD).
UT Austin scientists have targeted one such deadly fungal parasite, Nosema ceranae, and have genetically modified a bacteria commonly found in bee guts to produce an RNA interference system preventing the fungus from making spores.

@SoniaSulaiman Sorry, no idea about publishing.
However I teach a course called #Science in #Literature. Always looking for novels or short stories about #evolution #molecularbiology #biotechnology. None yet from the Arabic speaking world and I would love love LOVE to have something from #Palestine!
Any recommendations?
THE INTELLIGENT GUERILLA BEEHIVE // AnneMarie Maes
..is a radically new beehive designed for urban environments, offering a shelter to swarming bee colonies, and thus supporting pollination by the #bees and protecting the #biodiversity of their foraging fields. It has also been a starting point for exploring possible futures through #artistic research on materials #science and #biotechnology.

I'm not sure if I posted this before (or if I even read it all when I bookmarked it) but I just took a few minutes to go through it carefully (it's LONG) but it's good. I know a lot of people are burned out by the AI crap (I pretty much am) but this really gives a good rundown on the history, the sci-fi and the future. Man, these dudes seriously wanna live forever (but WHY? Have they ever seen a vampire movie??) Anyway. It's a great long read if you have time.

Deinococcus radiodurans is pretty darn cool. It just won't die. Radiation and the vacuum of space, even acid poured directly on it, it doesn't care.
We would like to be able to use the genetics of this amazing microbe, but its genome is hard to edit.
Now, University of Western Ontario scientists have developed SLICER specifically for editing D. radiodurans.

Lab grown meat still has a lot of work to be done. While tissue production is getting more and more efficient, actually having the textural combination of fat and muscle remains complicated.
But Tufts University scientists have taken a big step, developing adipocyte (fat) tissue cultures that appear to match animal fat.
Will this cultured tissue stand up to the taste test?

Living medicine to treat lung infectious has been developed in Spain.
A myriad of researchers have engineered M. pneumoniae lung bacteria with transgene abilities to be able to target and kill dangerous P. aeruginosa that cause infections.
They can also dissolve the P. aeruginosa biofilms and work alongside antibiotics against other bacterial pathogens.

A CRISPR Update For Y'all!
A new tool called HELIX has been published by Massachusetts General Hospital scientists that enables the insertion of wild type genes into cells to fix aberrant and damaging mutations.
Prior work with these CRISPR-associated transposases (CASTs) had off-target and proper insertion problems that limited their usability.
But no more!

Scientists at Sweden's Linköping University have been working on making artificial nerve cells that can mimic the function of their biological counterparts.
One of the difficulties they've found is communication between the cells with ions, as is done biologically.
But their new ion-electron system accomplishes this goal and can emulate sodium and potassium ion channels.
