Normally, when you hear about a dating app, you think of a platform that uses location among other factors to find a partner. However, a Harvard scientist specializing in genetics is working on a dating app that matches people on the basis of DNA, something that has raised concerns of eugenics.

A new study by The Institute of Cancer Research, London (ICR) has shown that a genetic test for faults in DNA repair could enable targeted nuclear treatments for patients with prostate cancer.

Over the past decade, image-based screening as a molecular detection method for cellular assays has opened up a whole new world of possibilities to study the cellular processes in both developing and pre-cancerous tissues. These new techniques combine multiple measurements of cellular physiology, whether it is from sub-cellular levels multicellular organs, or cellular models. As a result, it is easier to study the cellular effects of therapeutic interventions than ever before. There are three main advantages to using image-based screening: it can easily be automated, it is cost-effective, and it offers a large number of potential targets. When doing the high content screening, it is important to consider the target cells' composition. This is where image-based screeners become particularly important because they can be used with any type of tissue, at any stage in development. There are many ways to study high content screening in the tissues of pre-cancerous tissues. For example, fluorescent markers can be used to directly measure DNA content in tissues or in the membranes of cells; magnetic probes can be used to directly measure lipid peroxidation in lipid membranes.
