Synthetic biology experiments suggest a “MultiFate” model for how genetically identical cells become the many different types found in complex organisms like us. The human body contains more than 200 ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), and at Harvard Medical School have used mathematical modeling to show how individual cells appear capable of learning, a behavior once deemed ...

Genetic engineers can design and assemble sophisticated gene circuits to program cells with new functions, but important ...

Letting human brain organoids grow in animal brains could be an ethical new option for experimental studies of neurological disorders. Using this technique, scientists should be able to create new ...
