The waterproof, light-activated glue developed by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital and Massachusetts Institute of Technology can successfully secure biodegradable patches...
Inside our cells, proteins known as myosins can act as a delivery service for biological materials. To better understand how molecular motors move, Stanford bioengineers...
Your nose is not the only organ in your body that can sense cigarette smoke wafting through the air. Scientists at Washington University in St....
Hiroshi Ishiguro, a professor at Osaka University, is famous for creating a robot (Geminoid F). The Geminoid F ("F" stands for female) is also designed...
When biology and materials science converge, the results can be new materials that can be used to deliver targeted drugs, repair damaged arteries or rebuild...
Scientists have obtained the first detailed molecular structure of a member of the Tet family of enzymes.The finding is important for the field of epigenetics...
As part of an international research project, a team of researchers has developed a DNA clamp that can detect mutations at the DNA level with...
Researchers have successfully coaxed stem cells to become kidney tubular cells, a significant advance toward one day using regenerative medicine, rather than dialysis and transplantation,...
The organ has to enable a “large mammal” to live “a normal lifestyle” for at least three months. The Methuselah Foundation is offering the prize...
The newly sequenced genome of the Amborella plant addresses Darwin's "abominable mystery" -- the question of why flowers suddenly proliferated on Earth millions of years...
A group of researchers from the UK have used inkjet printing technology to successfully print cells taken from the eye for the very first time....
Abba Zubair, M.D., Ph.D, believes that cells grown in the International Space Station (ISS) could help patients recover from a stroke, and that it may...
Researchers have created a new type of molecular motor made of DNA and demonstrated its potential by using it to transport a nanoparticle along the...
In the field of drug design, the protein K-Ras is legendary. It’s been on everyone’s “target” list for more than 30 years due to its...
The first ever biological robots that are powered by sperm have been created by scientists in Germany. Oliver Schmidt and colleagues at the Institute for...
