Interleukin-27-adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cell-based gene therapy attenuates inflammation in lipopolysaccharide-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome

September 29, 2025

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a lung inflammatory condition associated with the accumulation of fluid edema and cell infiltrates into the alveolar space along with dysregulation of the immune response.

Biosensor detects genetically modified crops

September 26, 2025

The continually expanding toolkit from Mohit Verma’s laboratory at Purdue University now includes a portable paper-based biosensor for identifying genetically modified corn and soybean. The genetically modified crop biosensor, based on a method called loop-mediated isothermal amplification – LAMP – offers a fast and less expensive alternative to the point-of-need molecular tools already on the market.

Discovery of hidden driver of Alzheimer’s could lead to new treatments, scientists say

September 25, 2025

Brain cells “clogged” with fat could be hidden drivers of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study that shifts focus away from protein plaques and tangles thought to be the main contributors behind the condition.

Novel Biosensor Detects Genetically Modified Corn and Soybean

September 19, 2025

The continually expanding toolkit from Mohit Verma’s laboratory at Purdue University now includes a portable, paper-based biosensor for identifying genetically modified (GM) corn and soybean. The GM crop biosensor, based on a method called loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), offers a fast and less expensive alternative to the point-of-need molecular tools already on the market.

New Research Overturns Decades of Thinking on Fat’s Role in Alzheimer’s

September 17, 2025

For many years, scientists believed that fat in the brain had little connection to neurodegenerative diseases. Purdue University researchers are now challenging that view.
