Cells are incredibly adept at creating complex molecules, like therapeutics, and can do so much better than many of our best factories. Synthetic biologists look to re-engineer cells to make these ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has developed a new method of surface engineering polymer soft-materials that has potential to accelerate ...

Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The ...

“Single-cell omics” is producing exciting biological data. The field measures how active every gene is in every cell of an organism and promises to yield valuable information on how our bodies work.

Scientists are pioneering a new method of genetic engineering for basic and applied biological research and medicine. Their work has the potential to open new doors in genomic research by improving ...

Researchers at the University of Tartu's Institute of Physics have developed a new technique to improve the quality of ...

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in ...

Researchers have found a simple method for identifying nanobodies with drug-like properties suitable for preventing SARS-CoV-2 infections. They demonstrated the approach by generating nanobodies that ...
