Ein neuer #Bluttest könnte #Parkinson bereits erkennen, bevor erste Symptome auftreten.
Forschende analysieren dabei einfach, schnell und kostengünstig spezifische #RNA-Fragmente im Blut. Der Test zeigte eine hohe #Genauigkeit und könnte die #Früherkennung sowie gezielte Therapien deutlich verbessern.

Forschungsquartett: mRNA-Forschung
Wie unsere Zellen lernen, den #Krebs zu besiegen
Die mRNA-Forschung hat die #Impfstoffe gegen das #Corona-Virus geliefert. Kann die #RNA-Technologie irgendwann sogar den Krebs besiegen? Prof. Markus Landthaler arbeitet am Max Delbrück Center daran, die Wirkweise der RNA-bindenden Proteine zu entschlüsseln und nutzbar zu machen.

The biology nerd in me really, really likes this XKCD comic:

I've been debating what to say to post with this comic, but it's all either just repeating the joke or explaining the joke. Except, it's not even a joke. It's just facts, presented in a humorous manner. Anyway, if you are not a molecular biology nerd & you would like an explanation, let me know in how much detail.

“I think it will be a gamechanger very broadly, not just for people in my field,” said senior study author James Liu, a group leader at Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Research Campus. “It was a tool developed to answer a very obscure question, but I think all biologists can use the technique in their favorite samples.”
