Brain injury treatment may cause harm

A procedure widely used to treat birth-related brain damage in newborn babies in low and middle income countries (LMICs) may increase the risk of death. This is the finding of research led by Imperial College London, together with several large hospitals in South Asia, published in the journal The Lancet Global Health. The study, of […]

Gene drive technology: Malarial mosquitoes completely controlled in experiments

Researchers have shown ‘gene drive’ technology, which spreads a genetic modification blocking female reproduction, works in natural-like settings. The team, led by researchers from Imperial College London, Polo GGB, and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine were able to suppress populations of a malaria-carrying mosquito in a year-long experiment mimicking natural environments. This is the first […]

SARS-CoV-2 not found in DNA sequencing

SARS-CoV-2 not found in DNA sequencing:  University of Queensland researchers are refuting claims that COVID-19 can enter a person’s DNA. The researchers from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute say the claims have led to “scaremongering” and people should not hesitate to be vaccinated. Professor Geoff Faulkner said his team’s research published in Cell Reports showed there was no evidence of COVID-19 […]

New drug delivers hope for blindness

A potential improved treatment for two of the leading causes of blindness – age and diabetes-related eye problems – has been demonstrated in research involving a University of Queensland expert. Professor Di Yu of the UQ Diamantina Institute collaborated with scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing Chaoyang Hospital to address an issue affecting approximately 450 […]
