Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute and Tufts University have engineered frog-cell constructs that autonomously assemble ...

A new study from the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), in collaboration with Uppsala University (Sweden) and AstraZeneca, shows how computational chemistry and supercomputers can help scientists ...

Understanding gene expression within the body has been a boon for 21st century biology and therapeutics, but most discoveries ...

Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built ...

Researchers have mapped 30 million cells to create a definitive atlas of the human neocortex. This blueprint reveals how human brain development differs from other mammals and provides a roadmap for ...

Single cell gene expression studies often rely on single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) alone. While scRNA-seq reveals which genes are turned on, it does not capture protein expression or changes to ...

Skin conditions such as psoriasis often flare up in the same spots throughout one’s life. Now scientists think they know why ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Some of the signs of aging in human cells originate in the cell nucleus, because the packaged form of DNA changes with age.
