Professor Richard Fu has developed a new technology solution that will provide low-power systems for use in bionic eyes, working with academics from the Harbin…
Cryobioprinting examples. Credit: Y. Shrike Zhang Researchers invented a technique that combines bioprinting with cryopreservation to construct frozen, cell-laden structures that can be used in…
A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core.…
A CRISPR-based gene editing technique called twin prime editing could be a new and safer approach to gene therapy. Researchers at the Broad Institute of…
The lizard lung forms quickly by a leveraging simple mechanical process the researchers likened to a mesh stress ball, the common toy. As fluid fills…
Credit: Susanna Hamilton, Broad Communications Researchers have boosted the efficiency of prime editing, a highly versatile CRISPR-based gene editing technology, and used the improved system…

The ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria bicolor, shown in green, envelops the roots of a transgenic switchgrass plant. Switchgrass is not known to interact with this type…
Researchers created a transistor-like ‘logic gate,’ which is a type of computational operation in which multiple inputs control an output, and embedded it into a…
Germination in the non-mutated barley was almost complete, while the gene-edited barley did not germinate at all. This shows that the gene-edited barley had been…
Yekaterina “Kate” Shulgina was a first year student in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, looking for a short computational biology project so she…
Illustration of a quantum wave packet in close vicinity of a conical intersection between two potential energy surfaces. The wave packet represents the collective motion…
Eukaryotic Toeholds (eToeholds) are engineered RNA-based control elements that, as in this example, can be specifically activated by viral “trigger RNAs” to enable synthesis of…
Tracing the Impact of a Long-Lost Relative on Modern Bread Wheat Genetic detective work has uncovered an obscure ancestor of modern bread wheat, in a…
A new RNARibonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule similar to DNA that is essential in various biological roles in coding, decoding, regulation and expression…
The researchers incorporated their sensor into a prototype with a fiber optic tip that can detect changes in fluorescence in the test sample. Credit: MIT…
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers suspended bacteria in photosensitive bio-resins and “trapped” the microbes in 3D structures using LED light from the LLNL-developed Stereolithographic Apparatus…
