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

Rice University bioengineers have developed a new construction kit for building custom sense-and-respond circuits in human cells. The research, published in the journal Science, represents a major ...

In a new paper published in Cell, the researchers have outlined a technique that can stabilize synthetic gene circuits by forming small, droplet-like compartments inside cells through a process called ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it takes for cells to behave in desired ways—for example, getting them to produce ...

"We discovered that by forming tiny droplets called transcriptional condensates around genes, we can protect genetic programs and keep them stable even as cells grow," Zheng says. "It's a simple ...

Two independent research teams have successfully regenerated mouse brain circuits in mice using neurons grown from rat stem cells. Both studies, using interspecies blastocyst complementation to study ...

The research team led by Professor Jongmin Kim from the Department of Life Sciences at POSTECH, along with graduate students Hyunseop Goh and Seungdo Choi, has successfully developed the 'Synthetic ...

Researchers identify PV neurons in the prefrontal cortex as the gatekeepers of drug addiction relapse, offering a new target for precision treatment.
