EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Scientists used light to evolve proteins that can switch, sense, and even “compute” inside living cells. Evolution is one of ...

The low efficiency of conventional vectors used for genetic medicines often means delivering them at high doses and by suboptimal routes, leading to inflammation, toxic side effects and limited ...

Breakthrough directed evolution system boosts virus-like particles for safer, more efficient gene editing, offering a powerful tool for next-generation therapeutic innovations. Study: Directed ...

Frances Arnold's game-changing technique of "directed evolution" creates enzymes with unusual capabilities. Her own evolution made it possible.
