Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting genetic instructions from DNA and creating proteins. With the power to execute a plethora of […]

With coral reefs in crisis due to climate change, scientists have engineered a bio-ink that could help promote coral larvae settlement and restore these underwater ecosystems before it’s too late. In a paper published in […]

A new study published in Palaeontology has confirmed that X-ray computed tomography (XCT scanning) can be used to monitor decomposing organisms without altering the natural decay process—a vital step in understanding how fossils form.This post […]

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there’s more to […]

Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) have developed a technique that could help advance treatments in tissue engineering. The study, published in the journal Small, introduces a technique for producing tissues with […]

A research team has published a study in Nature Communications detailing the development of a novel genetically encoded fluorescent sensor for real-time, cell-type-specific monitoring of intracellular adenosine (iAdo).This post was originally published on this site

Radiation sterilization technology destroys the DNA and cellular structures of bacteria and microorganisms using electromagnetic waves with far higher energy than ultraviolet radiation. This technique has become indispensable for sterilization in various fields, including medical […]

In a breakthrough that blends biology and robotics, researchers at the University of Osaka have created a new type of insect cyborg that can navigate autonomously—without wires, surgery, or stress-inducing electrical shocks. The system uses […]

Scientists at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have captured real-time footage showing how a key hormone receptor activates genes, offering a clearer view of one of the most fundamental processes in biology.This post […]

The majority of RNAs in each of our cells don’t code for any of the thousands of proteins that make up our bodies. Instead, noncoding RNAs have critical roles in many biological processes—such as gene […]
