Our immune system is designed to protect us by recognizing and attacking infected or abnormal cells. However, cancer cells often manage to "cheat" the immune system by pretending to be healthy cells and thus disabling immune ...
Researchers at Colorado State University have developed a tool that can be used to switch a plant's key genetic traits on or off at will. The breakthrough was recently published in ACS Synthetic Biology and represents the ...
A small but mighty microbe that can safely extract the rare earth and other critical elements for building everything from satellites to solar panels has another superpower: capturing carbon dioxide.
A technique developed by Politecnico di Milano researchers is enabling scientists to control specific bacterial functions using light-sensitive materials. The Engineering of Bacteria to See Light (EOS) project has pioneered ...
Machine learning models have seeped into the fabric of our lives, from curating playlists to explaining hard concepts in a few seconds. Beyond convenience, state-of-the-art algorithms are finding their way into modern-day ...
Chinese researchers have developed an advanced, high-throughput single-cell sorting platform that enables direct isolation of living cells with targeted metabolic profiles from large mutant libraries.
Scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC), in collaboration with national and international research centers, have identified a key immune cell subtype involved in the development ...
Nearly 30 years ago, Australia's first genetically modified field crop was planted: Bt cotton.
A new avenue for targeted drug delivery has been proposed by researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Their findings, published in Materials Today Bio, report the ...
One of the longstanding challenges in chemical biology has been finding ways to directly observe biological processes at work inside living cells without disturbing the action. In order to unlock new therapies and better ...
