"ICVAX is built on the innovative PD-1-Enhanced DNA vaccine technology invented and developed locally at the HKU," said Professor Zhiwei CHEN. "This study will help optimize delivery of ICVAX, paving ...

A large genetic study shows that many people carry DNA sequences that slowly expand as they get older. Common genetic variants can dramatically alter how fast this expansion happens, sometimes ...

DNA that humans acquired from ancient viruses plays a key role in switching parts of our genetic code on and off, a new study has found. Nearly half of the human genome consists of segments called ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

Scientists have uncovered new clues about why diabetic foot infections can become so severe and difficult to treat. By ...

A stretch of DNA in the mouse genome left by ancient viral infections is crucial for early development in the womb, new research shows. According to the study, published in December in the journal ...
