Bone bioengineering is an interdisciplinary field that strives to enhance the repair and regeneration of skeletal tissues through the design of advanced biomaterials and the modulation of molecular ...

A new study maps the evolutionary history and interrelationships of protein domains, the subunits of protein molecules, over 3.8 billion years. Proteins have been quietly taking over our lives since ...

A congressional commission says the U.S. needs a ‘molecular moonshot’ to boost bioengineering, a key sector for San Diego research. KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge says the goal is to stay ahead ...

All cells on Earth are enveloped in a fatty layer of lipids. Lipid membranes protect the content of the cells, including genetic information such as RNA and DNA. A new study reveals how lipids and RNA ...

The University of California, Santa Cruz, has approved a new major in bioengineering, an interdisciplinary program focusing on the applications of engineering to medicine and the biological sciences.

AUSTIN — What if you could train your body to fight off cancer? This is how vaccines work, after all — the vaccination trains the immune system to respond to viruses, bacteria and other foreign bodies ...

Due to groundbreaking work by Canadian scientists at Université de Montréal, two molecular languages at the origin of life have been efficiently recreated and mathematically evaluated. The ...

EPFL scientists have measured the molecular footprint that aging leaves on various mouse and human tissues. Using the data, they have identified likely regulators of this central process. Time may be ...

We spoke to Rebecca Goss to learn more about her precision molecular editing platform and its potential for drug development.

Lynn Hlatky is the founding director of the Center of Cancer Systems Biology. She joined the Medical Center from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Department of Radiation Oncology at Harvard ...

Visible light-powered molecular machines could be used to efficiently and effectively treat bacterial infections in vivo by physically disrupting the bacterial membrane. James Tour and fellow ...
