3+ week, 5+ day ago   (510+ words) Engineered living cells are becoming miniature biological factories, capable of producing medicines, sustainable chemicals and other valuable products. They can also be designed to sense disease-related signals or respond to changing conditions inside the human body. Yet unlike machines built…...

3+ week, 1+ day ago   (534+ words) A cell that has become cancerous, aged or otherwise abnormal may appear to have crossed a biological point of no return. Once its internal molecular circuitry has stabilized in a new state, removing the original trigger often does not restore…...

3+ week, 5+ day ago   (549+ words) Scientists have built living circuit boards by printing bacterial cells into carefully arranged patterns, creating reconfigurable biological computers that can perform logic operations without altering their genetic code....

7+ hour ago   (640+ words) The University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture has unveiled an ambitious new fellowship designed to reshape how the next generation of animal science professionals is trained. Known as F.U.S.E....

14+ min ago   (618+ words) Every day, computational biologists release new methods for analyzing genomes, single cells, microbiomes and molecular signatures, and every day researchers struggle with the same question: which method actually works best for their data? The answer usually depends on benchmarks—structured…...

3+ week, 3+ day ago   (625+ words) Hematopoietic stem cells, the rare self-renewing cells that continually replenish blood and immune populations, do not simply “wear out” with age. They undergo a complex biological transformation that reshapes how they read DNA, respond to stress, interact with their surroundings…...

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (630+ words) Scientists at the University of Arkansas have developed a more stable and biologically active form of human fibroblast growth factor 1, a signaling protein with important roles in cell growth, tissue repair and metabolism....
