NASA's AVATAR study will send Emulate organ chips containing human cells on the Artemis II mission to study how deep space affects health.

Carnegie Mellon scientists create AggreBots, tiny lung-cell robots powered by cilia with controlled motility.Word excerpt: Researchers at Carnegie M ...

A brand-new engineering approach to generate "designer" biological robots using human lung cells is underway in Carnegie Mellon University's Ren lab.

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

Researchers hope to replicate larger blood vessels like arteries and veins and potentially have real blood circulating through an organoid, a lab-grown replica of human organs.

Previously unmapped sections of the genome explain how cells sense their mechanical environment and could open new paths for treating disease ...

A single phototransistor mimics retinal bipolar cell function while detecting visible and infrared light, enabling low-power image processing through programmable ON and OFF photoresponses.

Fungi are vital to natural ecosystems by breaking down dead organic material and cycling it back into the environment as nutrients. But new research from the University of Utah finds one species, ...

It is one of humanity’s ultimate scientific and technological quests, alongside putting a man on the moon and unlocking the structure of DNA. Now the biotech industry’s progress in developing ...

At first glance, plants may seem passive - but beneath their stillness lies a world of complexity and constant activity. Plants are highly sensitive to their surroundings, continuously monitoring ...

Every new life begins after a genetic shuffle. When organisms make eggs or sperm, maternal and paternal chromosomes pair up and swap pieces of DNA in a process called crossing over.

Hameroff points to studies that demonstrate that, in humans, applying sub-thermal tFUS to the hippocampus of Alzheimer’s patients daily for three minutes increased metabolic activity in the ...
