Researchers of Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created pellets that contain all the molecular compounds used to translate DNA into proteins. Pellets are made to be stored for an extended period of time at room temperature. In synthetic biology, cells are modified to manufacture compounds they don’t usually produce. This study took it one step further by extracting necessary cellul

As one of the most complex biological systems, the human brain provides an ideal model for highly efficient computing systems. Following suit, a team at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) successfully developed a “synapstor” — a synaptic organic transistor that simulates a neuron’s short-term plasticity via imitating fluctuating signals between two nerve cells.

Cells in our bodies are constantly subjected to mechanical forces, which alternately compress and expand them. Unlike the effects of hormones and drugs on cells, the impact of these manipulations are shrouded in mystery. However, researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have developed a tool which could change that. Through their collaboration with biolog
