This small phase 1 study suggests that CRISPR-engineered T cells are safe and potentially effective, but there is a long way to go.
Brown noise, the better-known white noise, and even pink noise are all sonic hues.
Giving speech to the speechless.
This opens the door to manipulating networks of specific neurons.
The researchers suggest that their results demonstrate intelligence in silico.
Biotechnology can convert enemy viruses into anti-cancer mercenaries.
This pup puts us one step closer to resurrecting extinct species.
The new agency wants to push the boundaries of science and technology.
Synthetic biology has the power to cure and kill. Have we learned from our past mistakes?
These dissolvable pills aren’t meant to be swallowed, though.
Advances in ancient DNA analysis gave researchers a new way to trace the movements of peoples across Eurasia.
The spray uses snippets of DNA to gum up virus replication.
HIV mutates rapidly, which has made the development of a vaccine an enormous challenge for decades. Finally, we might have one.
The AI test can be done every night at home while the person is asleep, without even touching their body.
By creating a type O kidney, they hope to make more organs available for transplant.
The synthetic cartilage was made from cellulose fibers — the stuff found in wood — mixed with a goo called polyvinyl alcohol.
The antibodies elicited by the "S2 vaccine" not only neutralize COVID's multiple strains but also coronaviruses that cause the common cold.

New stamp-sized ultrasound adhesives produce clear images of heart, lungs, and other internal organs.
While one may be helpful, the other may be harmful.
Heart muscle is shaped like a spiral, a mystery that has eluded scientists since 1669. New research has recreated the structure.
It could permanently lower cholesterol — and permanently reduce your risk of having a heart attack.
A successful trial that tested a vaccine against bladder cancer in dogs could help develop a similar one for humans.
A "bio-battery" made from genetically engineered bacteria could store excess renewable energy and release it as needed.
For 40 years, scientists thought a specific gene was linked to aggression in hamsters. Removing it, however, had violent consequences.
“It’s a big resource in the way the human genome is a big resource, in that you can go in and do discovery-based research."
Scientists have discovered enzymes from several plastic-eating bacteria. So, why are our oceans still full of plastic pollution?
Scientists found a way to revert pain in mice using gene therapy. Perhaps the same technique could be applied to humans.
