For the first time, scientists have reconstructed a three-dimensional circuit of connected cells in the brain's seat of consciousness. Their new approach, which involves the use of high-tech ...

Over the past few decades, we have seen remarkable advances in technologies for reading (sequencing) and writing (synthesizing) DNA. These technologies have enabled us to decipher disease. Now they ...

Marta Zlatic owns what could be the most tedious film collection ever. In her laboratory at the Janelia Research Campus in Ashburn, Virginia, the neuroscientist has stored more than 20,000 hours of ...

For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer unit, ...

Encapsulating molecular components in artificial membranes offers more flexibility in designing circuits, report researchers. Synthetic biology allows scientists to design genetic circuits that can be ...

A new study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server applies MAGICAL for identifying modulated host response regulatory circuits in response to Staphylococcus aureus. S. aureus is a bacteria that is ...

A new cancer-detecting tool uses tiny circuits made of DNA to identify cancer cells by the molecular signatures on their surface. Duke University researchers fashioned the simple circuits from ...

The bidirectional flyback-based active cell balancing approach offers a compact and scalable solution for modern multicell ...

Synthetic biology allows scientists to design genetic circuits that can be placed in cells, giving them new functions such as producing drugs or other useful molecules. However, as these circuits ...
