Cells are incredibly adept at creating complex molecules, like therapeutics, and can do so much better than many of our best factories. Synthetic biologists look to re-engineer cells to make these ...

Researchers discovered that the distance between dislocations in nanolayer interfaces of pearlite can determine how much the material can stretch or contract without breaking (ductility). The ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has developed a new method of surface engineering polymer soft-materials that has potential to accelerate ...

Researchers have found a simple method for identifying nanobodies with drug-like properties suitable for preventing SARS-CoV-2 infections. They demonstrated the approach by generating nanobodies that ...

Scientists can now design fully synthetic bacteriophages, with potential to reshape the fight against antibiotic resistance.

“Single-cell omics” is producing exciting biological data. The field measures how active every gene is in every cell of an organism and promises to yield valuable information on how our bodies work.

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in ...

Researchers at the University of Tartu's Institute of Physics have developed a new technique to improve the quality of ...
