A novel technology that utilizes light of different wavelengths to control cellular functions by inducing reversible assembly and disassembly of molecules has been developed. This breakthrough could ...

Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to destroy cancer cells. A study published last year found stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, ...

A team of researchers at the Departments of Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry of the University of Malaga and The Biomimetic Dendrimers and Photonic Laboratory of the research institute IBIMA ...

Genetic engineers can design and assemble sophisticated gene circuits to program cells with new functions, but important ...

Mayo Clinic researchers report finding a new technique to tag senescent cells. The team used molecules known as "aptamers"—small segments of synthetic DNA that fold into three-dimensional shapes.

Scientists at Mizzou have identified two small molecules, agmatine and thiamine, that could both reveal and fight glaucoma.

Researchers have developed a new technique for tagging senescent cells with DNA aptamers to identify and characterize these ...
