Recently published in Nature Communications, the NASA-funded study uses synthetic biology to reverse-engineer modern enzymes and rebuild their possible ancestors. Betül Kaçar, a professor of ...

Imagine using your cell phone to control the activity of your own cells to treat injuries and disease. It sounds like something from the imagination of an overly optimistic science fiction writer. But ...

Integrating proteomics with systems biology reveals complex cellular networks, improving disease mechanisms understanding and precision medicine applications.

LIFE can be strange. Just look at narwhals, and those stick insects that resemble leaves on legs. Or consider the cockeyed squid, with its bizarrely mismatched peepers: one yellow and huge, the other ...

Each of our cells contains about 40 million proteins that together perform all the tasks the cell needs to survive. For a smooth action, the right proteins must be concentrated in specific amounts, at ...
