An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Center for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed the first RNA-based genetic switch that precisely replicates the logical ...

Researchers simulated nearly every molecule in a bacterial cell — and then watched the cell grow and reproduce.

For most of human history, aging has been treated as an inevitable biological process. However, advances in cellular reprogramming, gene editing, and regenerative medicine are prompting some ...

The arterial vasculature is the second most frequently calcified structure in the human body after the skeleton. Calcification of the aorta and aortic valves occurs in most individuals in westernized ...

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...

The human body runs on chemistry—from the water that regulates temperature to the proteins that carry oxygen and signal cells ...

Abstract: Nucleic acid extraction is the first step in nucleic acid analysis. Currently, designing an efficient, robust, and automated nucleic acid extraction system has been a challenging topic.
