An open access, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research in all areas of the biological, health, physical, chemical and Earth sciences.
One step closer to an Implantable Artificial Kidney
Our team at The Kidney Project chose a biohybrid approach to tissue engineering a universal donor kidney that mimics the tandem filtration-concentration physiology of a healthy kidney. Here, we show that cellular scaffolds can double as immunological barriers between host and allogeneic cells.
Gene expression tuning made easy
Have you ever wished to tune endogenous gene expression? Wait no longer.
In this “Behind the paper” blog post, I will present you our new toolkit, CasTuner, which is specifically designed to tune endogenous gene expression. I will summarize how CasTuner works, how to and why you should use it.
A quantitative peek into the superresolution subcellular world
Incorporating a physical model differentiating in-focus and out-of-focus emissions eliminates background fluorescence without affecting genuine signals. With this added to the sparse deconvolution pipeline, we preserve weak signals and minimize artifacts while achieving a sub-70 nm resolution.
New bioengineering strategies to improve crop photosynthesis and address global crop growing challenge
A study led by University of Liverpool scientists has revealed a new way of using synthetic biology to improve crop growth, meeting a significant challenge to increase crop productivity in a changing climate with a growing population.
