A new study from researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) reveals that extremely simple peptides can mimic a biological process that protects sensitive proteins from environmental ...
A collaborative research team has successfully developed designer enzymes that exhibit both intrinsic and extrinsic functions by transplanting a synthetic trinuclear zinc center into a human cytokine.
What if a complex material could reshape itself in response to a simple chemical signal? A team of physicists from the University of Vienna and the University of Edinburgh has shown that even small changes in pH value and ...
A new collection of chemically diverse dome-celled ultralight aerogels with high porosity and very low density feature elasticity and mechanical properties that remain intact even under extreme temperatures from 4.2 kelvin ...
Researchers have mapped how microbes underpin our food systems—and how we can stop their decline. Published in Frontiers in Science, their map of "agri-food system microbiomes" reveals how players at every stage of the ...
Recent advances in computational protein design have depended mainly on neural networks and machine learning to generate binders. However, the complexity of protein–protein interactions and the limitations of data-driven ...
As a molecular biologist, talking to the public about my work with DNA has often felt like trying to translate a foreign language. This got me thinking: could these scientific ideas be presented in an artistic way, to help ...
Researchers at Rice University have engineered E. coli to act as living multiplexed sensors, allowing these genetically modified cells to detect and respond to multiple environmental toxins simultaneously by converting their ...
A team of UC Merced researchers has shown that tiny artificial cells can accurately keep time, mimicking the daily rhythms found in living organisms. Their findings shed light on how biological clocks stay on schedule despite ...
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have successfully revived fungal specimens collected over 80 years ago, offering a fresh glimpse into how industrial agriculture has altered the invisible ecosystems that ...
