UCLA researchers have developed a lipid nanoparticle-based gene-editing approach capable of inserting an entire healthy gene into human airway cells, restoring key biological function in a laboratory model of cystic fibrosis and establishing a potential new path toward mutation-agnostic gene therapy for inherited lung diseases.

In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers are able to show that genetic variants in 11 regions of the human genome have a clear influence on which bacteria are in the gut and what they do there. Only two genetic regions were previously known. Some of the new genetic variants can be linked to an increased risk of gluten intolerance, hemorrhoids and cardiovascular diseases.

TAICHUNG, Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cancer has long ranked among the leading causes of death in Taiwan, and solid tumors account for more than 90% of cancer cases worldwide—making them the most challenging frontier for CAR-T cell therapy. China Medical University Hospital (CMUH) announced today that, in collaboration with Ever Supreme Bio Technology, it has successfully developed the world’s first EXO 001 targeted exosome platform, a breakthrough technology that enables direct in vivo programming of T cells to generate multi-target nanobody-based CAR-T cells.

New techniques to detect Y chromosome genes show frequent loss of the Y in tissues of older men.

For the first time ever, NTNU researchers have identified new characteristics of aggressive prostate cancer.

Researchers at Houston Methodist Research Institute have now discovered a promising new approach that can protect patients from radiation-induced skin damage during cancer treatment.

Genetic ancestry plays a key role in determining the behavior of head and neck tumors and may help explain why African-American patients survive for half as long as their counterparts of European ancestry, according to a new review study led by researchers from the University of Maryland School of Medicine’s (UMSOM) Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS) and the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC).
