Researchers solve some of the drawbacks related to DNA-based information storage by using synthetic macromolecules as an alternative for data encoding.
When chemistry becomes intelligent
An automated microfluidics‐based reaction system provides hands-off synthesis for the modern lab.
CRISPR-HOT: A new tool to visualize cells
A new take on CRISPR allows researchers to “paint” cells and observe never-before-seen cellular processes in great detail.
Developing artificial enzymes using computers
Artificial enzymes promise to not only help us understand the complex functioning of enzymes, but will create a new generation of biosystems for sustainable chemistry practices.
Improving how we image cells using carbon dots
Fluorescent carbon dots could change the way in which we visualize cells.
The paradox of dormancy: Why sleep when you can eat?
What is the advantage of laying eggs that are expensive to produce and take a long time to hatch? Perhaps there is more to this paradox then we originally thought.
First human trial finds CRISPR-edited cells for cancer treatment are safe and durable
The first human trial using CRISP-edited genes to fight cancer has promising results.
New synthetic route for amanitin, a therapeutically interesting mushroom toxin
A new, shorter total synthesis makes studying the therapeutic effects of Amanitins possible.
How can we make CRISPR safer?
The current barriers of CRISPR/Cas9 delivery and promising development of nanoparticle-based approaches for precise gene editing.
A nanoporous self-assembling network
Scientists have functionalized a simple nano-building block to form self-assembling molecular networks that exhibit exceptional properties.
