The planarian is nobody's idea of a genius. A flatworm shaped like a comma, it can be found wriggling through the muck of lakes and ponds worldwide. Its pin-size head has a microscopic structure that ...

Genetic circuit on a single DNA molecule as autonomous dissipative nanodevice. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-45186-2. In a new Nature Communications study, researchers ...

"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 ...

Researchers have developed a new technology that improves the precision and integration density of synthetic genetic circuits. Professor Jongmin Kim's research team at POSTECH developed a new ...

Scientists help mice regain mobility after a stroke using human stem cell transplants, opening up a promising avenue for ...

When scientists grow cells in culture, they fine tune factors such as medium ingredients, cell number, and incubator temperature to mimic the human body. However, one culture condition that ...

Biologists have constructed a programmable genetic "circuit" that can rewire cells to respond on demand to just about any signal desired. One version of the circuit makes human cells susceptible to an ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), and at Harvard Medical School have used mathematical modeling to show how individual cells appear capable of learning, a behavior once deemed ...
