Yale researchers have created "Ochre," a genomically recoded organism that enables the production of synthetic proteins with ...

Synthetic biology holds much promise for the life sciences sector as it continues to look for new ways of treating disease and accelerating drug development, says Debiopharm's Tanja Dowe.

Researchers at the University of Bristol have made a breakthrough in the development of "life-like" synthetic materials which ...

A new startup from one of the key scientists at Google DeepMind exits stealth today with $50 million in funding.

It’s important to note that researchers are likely at least 10 to 30 years away from creating mirror bacteria. On the timescale of a fast-moving field like synthetic biology, a decade is a very long ...

This research is part of a growing field called ‘active matter,’ which could one day lead to new drug delivery methods and self-repairing materials. Most materials, like wood or plastic, stay still ...

Feb. 7, 2025 — Researchers have analyzed the soft tissue from a fossilized plesiosaur for the first time. The results show that the long-necked marine reptile had both smooth and scaly skin ...

Synthetic materials are made from natural resources. Synthetic materials are made by chemically changing the starting substances to create a material with different characteristics. Some examples of ...

endangered species inside protected habitats are still in danger from threats from beyond their sanctuaries, according to a study published in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Ilaria Greco and ...

Computational biology and bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that develops and applies computational methods to analyse large collections of biological data, such as genetic sequences ...

The concept includes anatomy, physiology, cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics, and covers all organisms from microorganisms, animals to plants. The ghrelin receptor (GHSR1a) is a key target ...
