Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from biology, engineering, and computer science to design and construct new biological systems or redesign existing ones. It ...

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...

Modern therapeutics are shifting from their reliance on small molecules to biologics produced by cultured cells. The development and production of those biologics increasingly rely on computationally ...

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. “The Role of Synthetic Biology in the Realization of the Bioeconomy” is the title of the talk that Carrie Eckert, leader of the ...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) has emerged as a promising biopolymer across diverse sectors, ranging from biomedicine, food packaging, electronics, and textiles, ...

Engineering regulatory T cells (Tregs) has emerged as a powerful strategy to achieve durable, antigen-specific immune tolerance for autoimmune and ...

A research team has developed the "SUPER (Synthetic Upcycling Platform for Engineering Regulators)" platform, which dramatically enhances the performance and stability of gene regulatory devices. This ...

The traditional explanation of the initial genetic code in life seems less established when ancient proteins seem to be recalling some other arrangement of amino-acids. A recent examination of protein ...
