Activated by quarter-second-long light pulses, the molecular machines allowed scientists to control calcium signaling in a cardiac myocyte cell culture, causing the inactive cells to fire. "The ...

Though largely operating in the background until recently, Prolific Machines’ optogenetic approach to biomanufacturing is set ...

Trying to untangle a knot in a mess of strings can be frustrating and time-consuming. But not so for molecular ...

In a groundbreaking first, researchers have 3D-printed microscopic structures, including a 10-micrometer elephant, inside the cytoplasm of living cells. The technique, which uses a biocompatible ...

Tiny “living machines” made of frog cells can replicate themselves, making copies that can then go on to do the same. This newly described form of renewal offers insights into how to design biological ...

We combined a machine learning algorithm with knowledge gleaned from hundreds of biological experiments to develop a technique that allows biomedical researchers to figure out the functions of the ...
