Aromatic diisocyanates, which give polyurethane foams their structure, are commonly prepared on the megaton scale in highly ...

UCSC scientists have used CRISPR to develop programmable embryoids that can be used to study early embryo development and ...

"These cells co-develop together, just like they would in an actual embryo, and establish that history of being neighbors," ...

Study reveals the structure of PINK1 protein, offering fresh hope for Parkinson's patients through potential targeted therapies that address root causes.

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Find out how thermogalvanic cells can power devices from body heat and industrial waste using efficient energy conversion ...

This important study provides solid evidence that glucosylceramide synthase (GlcT), a rate-limiting enzyme for glycosphingolipid (GSL) production, plays a role in the differentiation of intestinal ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown bacterial protein, the structure of which is being used in the design of protein nanoparticles for the targeted delivery of anticancer drugs to tumors.

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

A previously unknown protein in a family of bacteria found in soil and the human gut microbiome has been discovered – which could help drug delivery in cancer treatment.
