Now That We Can Do Anything, What Should We Do? In the world of synthetic biology—where scientists and engineers can rewire biological systems to perform remarkable new tasks, like sensing chemicals ...

It can be estimated theoretically that more unique biological interactions exist than stars in our known universe. The biological foundations of life are built on an unimaginably vast network of ...

When scientist J. Craig Venter and his team announced in 2010 that they had created the first cell controlled by a fully synthetic genome, it marked a turning point in how scientists think about life.

Redox metabolites such as reactive oxygen species and reactive sulfur species are produced as a byproduct of aerobic metabolism and can be either beneficial or detrimental depending on cellular ...

New research is significantly revising a widely cited evolutionary model, the Inhibitory Cascade Mode (ICM). Benjamin Auerbach, professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the ...

As Biohub unveiled the next-generation ESM, AI tools designed to model protein biology, Northwestern University scientist Shana Kelley said the innovations will help write “the book of life.” A ...
