A research team has developed a high-throughput multiplexed gene and cell doping analysis (HiMDA) based on gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas). The work is published in the journal Science Advances. Unethical ...
In the 1990s, Lee Sweeney, a physiologist at the University of Pennsylvania, demonstrated that inserting the gene encoding insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) into the muscle cells of mice increased ...
Gene and cell doping typically utilizes genes that encode proteins that can enhance athletic performance, and can evade current protein-level drug monitoring anti-doping tests. Changmin Sung, a ...
After Chinese swimmers won Olympic gold in 2021 despite having tested positive for a banned substance, the World Anti-Doping Agency is considering whether to have an independent body handle testing ...
The use of illicit peptides is on the rise, in part due to promotion on social media platforms. Sport Integrity Australia is expanding drug testing to target some of these unregulated peptides. Health ...
