Scientists inject fish with alligator DNA to create mutant creatures that live longer

SCIENTISTS have put alligator DNA in catfish to make them live longer. Millions of fish are harvested across the world each year, but nearly half are killed due to diseases. 1 Scientists have put alligator DNA in catfish to make them live longerCredit: Jam Press/Auburn University However, studies have found that by inserting alligator genes into catfish, their survival chances increase by fivefold. The gene, dubbed cathelicidin, contains properties that protect reptiles from infections when wounded. Typically, farmers treat sick fish with antibiotics, but this contributes to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. But now scientists at Auburn University in Alabama … Read more

Environmental Factor – February 2023: Intramural Papers of the Month

IntramuralBy Janelle Weaver Study shows how two concerning flame retardants may harm health Chemicals called triphenyl phosphate (TPHP) and isopropylated phenyl phosphate (IPP) produce hazardous reproductive and developmental outcomes in rats, according to researchers from the NIEHS Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT). Organophosphate esters (OPE) compounds, which include TPHP and IPP, have increasingly been used as flame retardants and plasticizers in consumer products and building materials during the past two decades. This trend is worrying because OPE exposure can begin early in life, and the long-term effects remain unknown. In particular, TPHP and IPP used as flame retardants … Read more

Voice-activated device could make DNA handling at the laboratory safer for scientists

Smart voice assistants are a popular way for people to get quick answers or play their favorite music. That same technology could make the laboratory safer for scientists and technicians who handle potentially infectious samples. Researchers in ACS Sensors now report a small, voice-activated device that can extract and pretreat bacterial DNA, helping protect those on the front lines of disease outbreaks. The system could also help scientists with disabilities conduct studies more easily. Scientists working with samples containing pathogens need to work with the smallest amounts possible to avoid accidental infection. And for highly contagious bacterial diseases, on-site sample … Read more
