Biochemist John Carson uses The Virtual Cell to compare experimental and simulation results. Biologists are generating a vast amount of data on the molecular events that occur in the cell. Since a ...

Is it possible to draw conclusions about an adult's physical condition on the basis of their age? The answer is: "It depends." On the one hand, it is well known that the body's ability to function ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. A study that developed biological age clocks to predict a person's age, which may differ from chronological age, showed ...

Schematic of a typical bioreactor. Key components include the reactor tank, agitation system, feeding pump, thermal jacket, submerged aerator, and sensor probes for monitoring and maintaining optimal ...

This might be the beginning of arterial calcifications. It is an elekron microscopy image of calcified material forming deposits. This is the first time it was possible to show a biological process ...

The immune system provides an integral defense against cancer growth and progression. Activating an anti-tumor immune response relies on several biological steps that can ultimately result in the ...

This program applies basic scientific and engineering principles to the design, development and operation of large-scale, bio-based product manufacturing, such as food and pharmaceuticals. Such ...

Researchers from the University of Vienna discovered MISO bacteria that use iron minerals to oxidize toxic sulfide, creating energy and producing sulfate. This biological process reshapes how ...
