Results from their novel research into ways that engineered gene circuits interact with biological host cells have been published this week in the scientific journal Nature Chemical Biology.

Genetic circuits that are reliable, robust, and scalable are built without the need for optimization using a recombinase-based system. Engineered genetic circuits for mammalian cells often require ...

The maternal–fetal interface is the meeting point for maternal and fetal cells during pregnancy. It's long been understood as ...

Synthetic protein-level circuits could enable engineering of powerful new cellular behaviors. Rational protein circuit design would be facilitated by a composable protein-protein regulation system in ...

(Nanowerk News) Synthetic biology allows scientists to design genetic circuits that can be placed in cells, giving them new functions such as producing drugs or other useful molecules. However, as ...

A new cancer-detecting tool uses tiny circuits made of DNA to identify cancer cells by the molecular signatures on their surface.

A first-of-its-kind artificial protein -- designed on a computer and synthesized in the lab -- can be used to build brand-new biological circuits inside living cells. These circuits transform ...

Researchers suspect energy failures in brain “power plants” may explain why memory pathways collapse so early in Alzheimer’s.

This allowed the researchers to look for biological differences in specific cell types and circuit components in the brains of individuals with autism.

It turns out that PET — commonly used as an inert polymer in cell assembly — releases a molecule that leads to self-discharge of the cells when it breaks down, and this molecule was ...

University of Delaware engineers have demonstrated a way to effectively capture 99% of carbon dioxide from air using a novel electrochemical system powered by hydrogen. It is a significant advance for ...
