NASA scientists found amino acids, key minerals, and nucleobases for DNA in samples from the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission. It's a win for alien life.

In principle, mRNA vaccines are ideal for health emergencies as they can be quickly mass produced using a template. The problem is that current cell-based template production methods take too long, ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism - a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon - using a cellular platform that they developed ...

A new drug delivery system shows promise for treating a rare, aggressive form of cancer affecting pregnant women and new ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

“This is a reliable and efficient foundation for mRNA synthesis that also delivers ... producing high-quality plasmid DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and other key components for the development ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...

A new drug delivery system shows promise for treating a rare, aggressive form of cancer affecting pregnant women and new mothers, and it has potential with other cancers as well.
