Biological neural circuits (BNCs) are complex networks of neurons and synapses that carry out specific actions when activated. Without them, we would have to remind ourselves to put one foot in front ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it takes for cells to behave in desired ways—for example, getting them to produce ...

A new study has uncovered the remarkable potential of biomolecular computing that could provide innovative solutions in next generation of integrated circuits. In their article published in Materials ...

Deciphering gene circuits can be tedious and immensely time consuming. Modifying, or designing gene circuits from previously identified pathways presents further challenges. “There are many possible ...

Genetic engineers can design and assemble sophisticated gene circuits to program cells with new functions, but important signaling molecules can become diluted as these cells grow and divide, causing ...
