Neuroscientists can now make precise genetic tweaks to the neurons that are most affected by brain diseases such as Parkinson ...

A protein that gives fleas their bounce has been used to boot out bacteria cells, with lab results demonstrating the material ...

Reducing the copies of one gene in the bubonic plague bacterium, Yersinia pestis, made it less deadly but potentially more ...

Despite the presence of a well characterized toolbox of genetic elements, examples of genetic networks that exhibit complex temporal behavior are scarce. Here, we present a genetic oscillator ...

Industrial fermentation using bacteria, yeast and other microbes to produce specific products has the potential to reduce ...

This paper presents a hybrid approach to time table scheduling problem using bacterial foraging and genetic algorithm techniques. In the proposed algorithm, a bacterium represents a point in ...

Current strategies toward regulating the intracellular functions of a kinase of interest either lack specificity or require genetic engineering that may perturb its physiological activity. Herein, we ...

A new avenue for targeted drug delivery has been proposed by researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the ...

Using neem tree extracts as a starting point, scientists have created several kinds of nanozymes and tested them for ...

Scientists at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have re-engineered ...

The moon is a harsh place for an average brick. But bacteria, mixed with some bean gum, can help create self-repairing bricks ...

A propagating mechanism helps Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria adopt a competent state that allows them to resist antibiotic ...
