The study, published in the journal Science Advances, does not involve creating a complete lung for [...]
A research team from the Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh has developed, through genetic editing, a line of pigs capable of resisting classical swine fever (CSF), a highly contagious viral disease that severely affects pig farming. The key to this innovation lies in modifying the gene that encodes the DNAJC14 protein, which the virus [...]
