Researchers developed a method for mutating neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders (NPD) risk genes in human stem cells at large scale. In the modified cells, a selected NPD risk gene is mutated so that it no longer makes a functional protein.

Cancer researchers develop new method that uses internal clock inside tumor cells to optimize therapiesHow effective medications are depends on various factors, including the time of day when they are administered. Why? Because our bodies don't always function exactly the same. Instead, they follow the cycle set by their internal clock, otherwise known as circadian rhythm.
