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 ...

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

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

Background Gut bacteria have been implicated in a wide range of health conditions, yet their potential role in preventing and treating muscle-wasting disorders remains largely unexplored. Objective We ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

The University of Chicago will honor three distinguished scholars, including chemist Sir Shankar Balasubramanian, during its Convocation ceremony for the Class of 2026 on June 6. The other two ...
