This module will introduce students to the new and rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field of synthetic biology which aims to reprogram cellular and/or molecular systems at the genetic level for ...

Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host cells and lost their independence in the course of evolution. Biologists are now examining the way in which ...

Single-cell transcriptomics has revolutionized the study of cellular diversity and function by enabling gene expression ...

Further research can help identify those other ion channels and pathways that allow epithelial cells to generate bioelectricity. Our discovery that epithelial cells can electrically speak up during a ...

Investigating how the production of insulin is regulated in fruit flies reveals surprising insights that may help to better understand how this process unfolds in humans.
