An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Center for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed ...

How can cells be programmed to respond to complex signals and make targeted decisions, similar to a logical circuit in a computer? Researchers have developed a new approach: an RNA-based genetic ...

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 ...

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

Christine Dunham is a leading expert on the ribosome—an elaborate macro-molecular machine that operates like a factory within a cell to manufacture proteins. "The ribosome is really the most ...

Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...

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

When Dr. Ibiagbani “Ibi” Max‑Harry was eight, she first understood that the world could be larger than the classroom she knew ...

A new review outlines design principles and applications of synthetic membraneless organelles built through liquid-liquid phase separation for use in biotechnology.
