Cells are incredibly adept at creating complex molecules, like therapeutics, and can do so much better than many of our best factories. Synthetic biologists look to re-engineer cells to make these ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has developed a new method of surface engineering polymer soft-materials that has potential to accelerate ...

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in ...

“Single-cell omics” is producing exciting biological data. The field measures how active every gene is in every cell of an organism and promises to yield valuable information on how our bodies work.

Researchers at the University of Tartu's Institute of Physics have developed a new technique to improve the quality of ...

In engineering, the Taguchi method of quality control focuses on design and development to create efficient, reliable products.

Researchers have found a simple method for identifying nanobodies with drug-like properties suitable for preventing SARS-CoV-2 infections. They demonstrated the approach by generating nanobodies that ...

Two approaches provide a faster way to create enzymes and analyze their reactions, leading to the design of more complex molecules. Cells are incredibly adept at creating complex molecules, like ...
