Scientists have created a soft robot arm capable of  grabbing and moving objects, powered, believe it or not, by algae and ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a method that preserves the RNA archive of a cell, allowing scientists to investigate its past ...

A novel AI tool, circMAC, predicts where microRNAs may bind within full-length circular RNA isoforms at nucleotide resolution ...

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 ...

A key metabolic pathway has been identified that provides a deeper insight into the link between moderately cold temperatures and enhanced longevity. We’ve heard it before: there’s a link between cold ...

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 ...
