Smith, a microbiologist whose discovery revolutionize the field of genetic engineering, was a Johns Hopkins School of Medicine alumnus and professor emeritus ...

Researchers have produced a comprehensive picture of insulin signaling in mice and suggest that it is shaped by entangled effects of genetics and diet. The research, published today as a Reviewed ...

We are now in the second great wave of the genetic revolution, not defined by reading the human code of life, but by rewriting it.

Genetic engineering uses enzymes to carefully alter genetic material. This line of study has led to hardier and healthier food crops, the mass production of insulin, and novel vaccines, and it’s all ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune condition where the immune system destroys insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas. Yet, not all patients lose insulin function at the same pace. Understanding ...

People with Type 1 diabetes lose insulin-producing beta cells due to an autoimmune reaction, forcing lifelong dependence on ...

In a step forward for genetic engineering and synthetic biology, researchers have modified a strain of Escherichia coli bacteria to be immune to natural viral infections while also minimizing the ...

An analysis of insulin-controlled proteins in the skeletal muscle of genetically distinct mice sheds light on the interplay between genes and diet in type 2 diabetes. Researchers have produced a ...
