Protein design is a hot topic, and despite June’s heatwave, the first London Protein Design Day was full. Full of speakers ...
An implantable device that uses an electrically powered catalyst to lower blood sugar may offer a drug-free approach to managing diabetes and obesity. Scientists from ETH Zurich (Switzerland) have ...
Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) vaccines are engineered to replicate within cells, enabling robust and prolonged antigen expression to deliver powerful protection at lower doses. Despite this promise, ...
Scientists used 3D images of the human nucleolus to visualize ribosome assembly pathways inside cells for the first time. For decades, ribosomes have been, quite literally, under the lens of many ...
Scientists have created a soft robot arm capable of  grabbing and moving objects, powered, believe it or not, by algae and ...
Biological clocks are often associated with light. Historically, most people start their days when the Sun is up, and end their days when the sun sets. But new research from Carnegie Mellon University ...
In this edition of the biotech bi-weekly, we highlight new technology for investigating patterns in large multiomic datasets, automating nanoparticle formation for drug discovery and a repository of ...
A new technology called FIRE pairs machine learning with advanced DNA sequencing to find regions of the genome that are crucial for gene regulation, providing an unprecedented look at previously ...
Human brain organoids can relay signals that correspond to Braille letters – in other words, the tiny tissue cultures can now ‘read’. Making strides toward biohybrid computing, researchers from the ...
This eBook dives into the ins and outs of digital PCR (dPCR), exploring how it works, how it’s advancing life science research and how it compares to other quantification methods like quantitative PCR ...
