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 ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 11 (March 15, 2022), pp. 1-10 (10 pages) Mathematical modeling has become a major tool to guide the ...

DURHAM, N.C. – Under the microscope, the bacteria start dividing normally, two cells become four and then eight and so on. But then individual cells begin "popping," like circus balloons being struck ...

Scientists used fruit flies to show for the first time that a new class of genetically engineered proteins can be used to watch nerve cell electrical activity in live brains. These proteins may be a ...

Building circuits isn’t common in biotech labs, particularly labs developing cell-based therapies for cancer. Tim Lu, who studied computer science and electrical engineering as an undergraduate before ...

While natural cells have evolved to use condensates as a built-in protective system for regulating gene circuit activity, this study is among the first to show how it can be repurposed to stabilize ...

A new design for self-stabilizing, programmable cells While natural cells have evolved to use condensates as a built-in protective system for regulating gene circuit activity, this study is among the ...
