VU Researchers Publish Study on the Mechanism of CRISPR-Cas “Protein Scissors” in Molecular Cell

CRISPR-Cas systems help to protect bacteria from viruses. Several different types of CRISPR-Cas defense systems are found in bacteria, which differ in their composition and functions. Among them, the most studied proteins today are Cas9 and Cas12, also known as DNA or gene ‘scissors’, which have revolutionized the field of genome editing, enabling scientists to […]

New protein linked to early-onset dementia identified

Scientists have identified abnormal aggregates of a protein called TAF15 in the brains of individuals with early-onset dementia, known as frontotemporal dementia, where the cause was not previously known.  Most neurodegenerative diseases, including dementias, involve proteins aggregating into filaments called amyloids. In most of these diseases, researchers have identified the proteins that aggregate, allowing them […]

Vilnius University Scientists’ Research on Bacterial Defense from Viruses Was Published in Science

CRISPR-Cas systems provide interference against invading foreign nucleic acids by different mechanisms. In bacteria, several different types of antiviral CRISPR-Cas systems are found, which differ in Cas proteins and their functions. Currently, the best-known Cas9 and Cas12 proteins are widely used as genome editing tools. A team of researchers led by Gintautas Tamulaitis is studying […]

New study from the RVC explores malaria invasion to help develop life-saving vaccine

Malaria is a deadly disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite which infects more than 200 million people a year, causing approximately 600,000 deaths annually worldwide with young children in Africa disproportionately affected. With numbers of infections expected to rise in the coming years due to growing parasite resistance to frontline anti-malarial drugs, there is a […]
