Baby born from three people's DNA in UK first

Babies made using three people's DNA are born free of hereditary disease

LONDON — Eight babies have been born in the UK using genetic material from three people to prevent devastating and often fatal conditions, doctors say.The method, pioneered by UK scientists, combines the egg and sperm from a mum and dad with a second egg from a donor woman.The technique has been legal here for a decade but we now have the first proof it is leading to children born free of incurable mitochondrial disease.These conditions are normally passed from mother to child, starving the body of energy.This can cause severe disability and some babies die within days of being born. Couples know they are at risk if previous children, family members or the mother has been affected.Children born through the three-person technique inherit most of their DNA, their genetic blueprint, from...

Scientists recover proteins from a 24 million-year-old rhino fossil

LONDON — Scientists have recovered ancient proteins from a fossilized rhinoceros tooth, breaking new ground in the study of ancient life on Earth.The 24-million-year-old tooth, which was unearthed in the Canadian Arctic, contains proteins that are 10 times older than the most ancient known DNA. Using the sample, scientists have now analyzed the oldest detailed protein sequence on record.“Enamel is so hard it protects these proteins over deep time (long time scales),” said Ryan Sinclair Paterson, a postdoctoral researcher at the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark who led the Canadian research. “It’s essentially like a vault. What we did was unlock this vault, at least for this specific fossil.”The study of ancient DNA preserved in bones, fossils and dirt...

Biggest human imaging study scans 100,000th person

LONDON — Scientists say they can study our bodies as we age in greater detail than ever before, thanks to more than a billion scans of UK volunteers.The world's biggest human imaging project says it has now hit its target of scanning the brains, hearts and other organs of 100,000 people - the culmination of an ambitious 11-year study."Researchers are already starting to use the imaging data, along with other data we have, to identify disease early and then target treatment at an earlier stage," says Prof Naomi Allen, chief scientist at UK Biobank.The data is made available at low cost to teams around the world to find new ways of preventing common health conditions from heart disease to cancer.The 100,000th volunteer to be scanned was Steve, who recently retired from a job...

Moths layed eggs on plants based on the sounds they made, which indicated their health

Animals react to secret sounds from plants, say scientists

TEL AVIV — Animals react to sounds being made by plants, new research suggests, opening up the possibility that an invisible ecosystem might exist between them.In the first ever such evidence, a team at Tel Aviv University found that female moths avoided laying their eggs on tomato plants if they made noises they associated with distress, indicating that they may be unhealthy.The team was the first to show two years ago that plants scream when they are distressed or unhealthy.The sounds are outside the range of human hearing, but can be perceived by many insects, bats and some mammals."This is the first demonstration ever of an animal responding to sounds produced by a plant," said Prof Yossi Yovel of Tel Aviv University."This is speculation at this stage, but it could be...
