Scientists have developed a new technique that could change how we design DNA for ...

In a recent perspective article published in the journal Nature Communications, over 30 scientists from around the world discussed the action plans and principles of the global scientific initiative ...

Ubiquitination is a crucial post-translational modification process where the small protein ubiquitin is attached to target proteins, marking them for degradation or altering their function. This ...

At first glance, biology and quantum technology seem incompatible. Living systems operate in warm, noisy environments full of constant motion—while quantum technology often requires extreme isolation ...

Bioengineers have developed a new construction kit for building custom sense-and-respond circuits in human cells. The research could revolutionize therapies for complex conditions like autoimmune ...
