Researchers have developed a gene therapy that significantly slowed motor function loss in preclinical models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), offering new hope for treating the devastating neurodegenerative disease.

SARASOTA, Fla. and HUNTSVILLE, Ala., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — World Precision Instruments (WPI), a global leader in transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) instrumentation, and SynVivo Inc., a pioneer in Organ-on-a-Chip (OOC) technology, today announced the commercial launch of a next-generation multiplexed TEER-on-a-Chip platform—a breakthrough solution enabling real-time, high-throughput measurement of barrier integrity in advanced Organ-on-a-Chip models.

Researchers redesign a compact RNA-guided enzyme from bacteria, making it an efficient editor of human DNA.

Researchers at McGill University and other institutes recently carried out a study aimed at identifying biomarkers and psychosocial factors associated with the development of chronic pain conditions. Their findings, published in Nature Human Behavior, were obtained by analyzing data from a large biomedical database, namely the UK Biobank, using advanced machine learning techniques.

Their study yielded hundreds of “cryptic” peptides that are found only on pancreatic tumor cells and could be targeted by vaccines or engineered T cells.
