Modern medicine often relies on taking pills for extended periods of time, if not indefinitely. This is likely caused by needing a small yet constant supply of medicine. Using synthetic biology, cells ...

Researchers have reverse-engineered a cellular signal processing system and used it like a logic gate -- a simple computer -- to better understand what causes specific cells to migrate. Cancer cells ...

(Nanowerk News) The same basic tools that allow computers to function are now being used to control life at the molecular level. The advances have implications for future medicines and synthetic ...

This stylized schematic shows a Co-LOCKR protein device coming together on the surface of a cell that has the right combination of cell surface markers to be targeted for attack. Check the end of this ...

David L. Porter, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania Health System, explains why treating tumors with a combination of CAR-T cells and other immune-stimulating agents is a logical next step for ...

Philadelphia, PA – The process of aging disturbs a broad range of cellular mechanisms in a complex fashion and is not well understood. Computer models using fuzzy logic might help to unravel these ...

Cancer cells migrate through the body for multiple reasons; some are simply following the flow of a fluid, while others are actively following specific chemical trails. So how do you determine which ...
