Mutant genes can promote genetic transfer across taxonomic kingdoms. Bacteria do not sexually reproduce, but that does not stop them from exchanging genetic information as…
Conquering a chemical challenge to control the structure of a polymer opens a path to better biosensors. A new organic (carbon-based) semiconducting material has been…
Paper offers foundation to advance search for Leonardo’s DNA. Leonardo Da Vinci: New family tree spans 21 generations, 690 years, finds 14 living male descendants….
An international team led by Xavier Trepat at IBEC, with support from “La Caixa Foundation, measures the cellular forces in mini-intestines grown in the laboratory,…
Wireless, fully implantable device gives temporary pacing without requiring removal. Bioresorption bypasses need to extract non-biodegradable leads, eliminating additional risk to patient Pacemaker is remotely…
Platform could also predict COVID-19 case severity and immunity against variants. Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a tablet-sized device that can reliably detect…
Scientists Develop the First CRISPR/Cas9-Based Gene Drive in Plants New technology designed to breed more robust crops to improve agricultural yield and resist the effects…
By making the microbes more tolerant to toxic byproducts, researchers show they can use a wider range of feedstocks, beyond corn. Boosting production of biofuels…
Studies using human cell lines and tumors grown in mice provide early evidence that inhibiting RNA-binding proteins, a previously overlooked family of molecules, might provide…
Bacteria found in the rumen, one of the compartments that make up the cow stomach, can break down plastics, representing an eco-friendly way to reduce…
A Rutgers-led team of researchers has developed a microchip that can measure stress hormones in real time from a drop of blood. The study appears…
During the COVID-19 pandemic, cloth face masks became a way to help protect yourself and others from the virus. And for some people, they became…
Antimicrobial peptides fight viral diseases but a structural flaw makes them difficult to use as drugs. A deft molecular fix could create synthetic “peptoids” to…
The sensor technology could also be used to create clothing that detects a variety of pathogens and other threats. Engineers at MIT and Harvard University…
MIT engineers used kirigami-style etching to design a stent that can temporarily lodge in tubular organs to release drugs. Inspired by kirigami, the Japanese art…
Patients will be able to receive confirmed diagnosis at the doctor’s office. The idea of visiting the doctor’s office with symptoms of an illness and…
An international study has discovered a coronavirus epidemic broke out in the East Asia region more than 20,000 years ago, with traces of the outbreak…
