There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

Researchers from USA describe suitable approaches for designing genetic circuits in rhizobacteria, to drive the expression of desirable traits in plants Facilitating interactions between a plant’s ...

In most developing tissues, signals called morphogens act like lighthouses, guiding nearby cells toward their fate and telling them what to become. Each cell relies on such signals for organized ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a toolbox of transcriptional regulators for plants and show that they can be used to construct synthetic genetic circuits that predictably modify root growth. Their work is ...

The research team led by Professor Jongmin Kim from the Department of Life Sciences at POSTECH, along with graduate students Hyunseop Goh and Seungdo Choi, has successfully developed the 'Synthetic ...

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from biology, engineering, and computer science to design and construct new biological systems or redesign existing ones. It ...

Engineers have made bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural and other ...

These bacteria, which could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, could act as sensors to help farmers monitor their crops. (Nanowerk News) Bacteria can be engineered to sense a variety of ...

Guides typically assist tourists with directions, but the experience could be greatly enhanced if they offered personalized services tailored to individual interests. Recently, researchers have ...
