While natural cells have evolved to use condensates as a built-in protective system for regulating gene circuit activity, this study is among the first to show how it can be repurposed to stabilize ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Two independent research teams have successfully regenerated mouse brain circuits in mice using neurons grown from rat stem cells. Both studies, using interspecies blastocyst complementation to study ...

The planarian is nobody's idea of a genius. A flatworm shaped like a comma, it can be found wriggling through the muck of lakes and ponds worldwide. Its pin-size head has a microscopic structure that ...
