Sequencing the genome of single bacterial cells has long been technically difficult due to the seemingly unalterable bias in the gene amplification stage of the process, making it hard to produce high-coverage genome sequence ...
Yeast has been used for thousands of years in the production of beer and wine and for adding fluff and flavor to bread. They are nature's tiny factories that can feed on sugars found in fruit and grains and other nutrients—and ...
What causes certain individuals who experience a sudden decline in kidney function to develop kidney disease while others recover? A new study co-led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego could provide ...
Piezoelectricity has been well recognized as the key factor in bone regeneration. However, the current additive-manufactured scaffolds mainly focus on the reconstruction of bionic topological structure and mechanical microenvironment, ...
Scientists hoping to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry have developed a way to grow building materials using knitted molds and the root network of fungi. Although researchers have experimented with ...
Received wisdom says that staying out in the sun too long can make your skin tougher over time. Think about the "leathery" complexions of farmers, road crews and others who work long hours outdoors, or someone who spends ...
In a new report published on Scientific Reports, Michael J. Rupar, and a research team at Hesperos Inc., Florida, U.S., developed a functional, multi-organ, serum-free system to culture P. falciparum—a protozoan that predominantly ...
Living organisms possess an internal biological cycle known as the circadian clock, enabling them to adapt to environmental changes arising from the Earth's rotation. This internal clock regulates vital physiological processes ...
Researchers from The University of Queensland have made a dust from baker's yeast that can detect COVID-19 and could safeguard communities against future pandemics.
"This technology is not alive," says Laia Mogas-Soldevila. "It is living-like."
