Daily briefing: Is a nine-to-five PhD possible?
""Understanding sex differences in disease susceptibility could lead to better treatments to benefit everyone," says neuroscientist Jessica Tollkuhn."
""This is a fundamentally new way that life produces DNA," says biochemist and study co-author Alex Gao."
PhD students manage their doctorate alongside standard work hours. Research has identified over one hundred genes with differing expression in male and female brains, influenced by sex hormones. This understanding may improve treatments for brain conditions like schizophrenia and Alzheimer's. Additionally, a newly discovered bacterial enzyme, Drt3b, synthesizes DNA without a template strand, using its amino acid sequence. This method could lead to innovative research tools. A US$2 million Quantum for Bio Prize was awarded for developing light-sensitive cancer drugs using quantum computing algorithms.
