In pursuit of a deeper understanding of cellular life, biologists use patterns in data as a springboard for probing specific elements in complex systems. Delete a gene here; express a protein there; ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of DNA origami. The system they developed may ...

A study published in the journal Cell marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells.

Cells use phase separation to organize their inner environment, creating compartments for essential biochemical reactions without the use of membranes. Tian's team realized that by engineering similar ...

NIST researcher Elizabeth Strychalski’s research group is helping to establish the measurements and standards needed for progress in engineering biology, also known as synthetic biology. For over a ...
