Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), and at Harvard Medical School have used mathematical modeling to show how individual cells appear capable of learning, a behavior once deemed ...

Researchers have successfully developed a modular synthetic translational coupling element (SynTCE), significantly enhancing the precision and integration density of genetic circuits in synthetic ...

For years, the pancreas has been being taught in biology class as an easy system: insulin lowers blood sugar, and glucagon raises it. But that’s much too simple, new research says.

TThe fundamental unit of the nervous system is the neuron. Individual neurons are connected by synapses to form circuits. Evolution has driven the formation of ever more elaborate circuits to enable ...

AggreBots are mini living robots made from human cells that can move, spin, and swim, paving the way for medicine delivery and tissue repair.

A new study by physicists and neuroscientists from the University of Chicago, Harvard and Yale describes how connectivity among neurons comes about through general principles of networking and ...
