Cancer therapy and synthetic biology are converging around a shared problem that has long frustrated oncologists and ...

Genetic circuit on a single DNA molecule as autonomous dissipative nanodevice. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-45186-2. In a new Nature Communications study, researchers ...

"We discovered that by forming tiny droplets called transcriptional condensates around genes, we can protect genetic programs and keep them stable even as cells grow," Zheng says. "It's a simple ...

It is true that if you take a metabolic map or molecular interaction—if you hold it before your face and squint your eyes—it will bear a strong resemblance to a circuit board. Which is why the people ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), and at Harvard Medical School have used mathematical modeling to show how individual cells appear capable of learning, a behavior once deemed ...

Biologists have constructed a programmable genetic "circuit" that can rewire cells to respond on demand to just about any signal desired. One version of the circuit makes human cells susceptible to an ...

I will be talking about single-series (1sXp) cell configurations, for a simple reason – multiple-series configurations are not something I consider myself as having worked extensively with. The single ...

When scientists grow cells in culture, they fine tune factors such as medium ingredients, cell number, and incubator temperature to mimic the human body. However, one culture condition that ...

Bootstrap circuits are widely used in dc-dc converters to serve as top-side bias voltage supplies. After explaining how bootstrap circuits work, this article will show how versatile they can be. One ...
