Protein design is a hot topic, and despite June’s heatwave, the first London Protein Design Day was full. Full of speakers ...

Scientists have created a soft robot arm capable of  grabbing and moving objects, powered, believe it or not, by algae and ...

An implantable device that uses an electrically powered catalyst to lower blood sugar may offer a drug-free approach to managing diabetes and obesity. Scientists from ETH Zurich (Switzerland) have ...

Researchers have developed a method that preserves the RNA archive of a cell, allowing scientists to investigate its past ...

Scientists used 3D images of the human nucleolus to visualize ribosome assembly pathways inside cells for the first time. For decades, ribosomes have been, quite literally, under the lens of many ...

Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) vaccines are engineered to replicate within cells, enabling robust and prolonged antigen expression to deliver powerful protection at lower doses. Despite this promise, ...

Human brain organoids can relay signals that correspond to Braille letters – in other words, the tiny tissue cultures can now ‘read’. Making strides toward biohybrid computing, researchers from the ...

A key metabolic pathway has been identified that provides a deeper insight into the link between moderately cold temperatures and enhanced longevity. We’ve heard it before: there’s a link between cold ...

In this edition of the biotech bi-weekly, we highlight new technology for investigating patterns in large multiomic datasets, automating nanoparticle formation for drug discovery and a repository of ...

Postdoctoral life is no walk in the park. Researchers at this fledgling stage of their careers can face a plethora of challenges – demanding workloads, job insecurity, isolation and a lack of support, ...
