Understanding the Spatial Landscape of Cells in the Brain by Rena Ren Join our Seminar 7pm November 29th in Northwest B103, 52 Oxford St, Cambridge MA Or join our livestream at this link Introduction Cells, too small for our eyes to perceive, constitute the fundamental unit of biology. All the cells within our bodies share a nearly identical DNA, which serves as the genetic blueprint … Continue reading Free Seminar: Building the Cell Atlas
In a breakthrough for synthetic biology, an international team of researchers constructed a functioning yeast genome where more than half of its chromosomes were made in a lab. Continue reading Scientists create yeast with a half-man-made genome
The latest research on diffusiophoresis unlocks the secrets behind the intricate and beautiful patterns of the natural world. Continue reading Understanding Nature’s Intricate Patterns: A Dive into Diffusiophoresis
This research uses fruit flies to study how our brains handle taking risk and seeking reward, helping us understand the neurological basis of mental diseases. Continue reading Deciphering the mind’s drive: how fruit flies shed light on motivation and mental health
Scientists have discovered that mitochondria bursting may cause cellular aging. Continue reading Aging? Blame your mitochondria
Researchers have discovered that one of humanity’s closest relatives also experiences menopause, contradicting a popular hypothesis about the evolutionary origins of this process. Continue reading Chimpanzees go through menopause, too
Knowing the type of brain tumor can help determine how aggressive the surgeon should be in removing it. A new study has created a procedure using machine learning and DNA sequencing to quickly classify tumors and guide the surgery while it is happening. Continue reading Machine learning can rapidly identify brain tumor type to guide surgery
Researchers have discovered that COVID-19 patients with low levels of cortisol—a hormone that regulates inflammation—are more likely to develop long COVID. Continue reading Low cortisol? You may be at risk of developing long COVID
Scientists have discovered a new way to study Alzheimer’s disease in mice, revealing how brain cells die in AD. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments that slow or stop the disease. Continue reading Hope for New Alzheimer’s Treatments as Scientists Discover How Brain Cells Die
A group of researchers from Shanghai built a customizable circuit that operates entirely with DNA, a groundbreaking step towards general-purpose DNA computing. Continue reading Scientists create a customizable circuit made from DNA
