Synthetic biology startup D-Nome raised $1.5 million in seed funding from Ankur Capital, Campus Fund, and other investors.D-Nome intends to democratise molecular diagnostics with their deviceless PCR tech. Started in July 2021 by PhD…

Researchers have designed the first 'living medicine' to treat lung infections. The treatment targets Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a type of bacteria which is naturally resistant to many types of antibiotics and is a common source of infections…

Synthetic populations are computer-generated groups of people that are designed to look like real populations. They are built using public census information about people's characteristics, such as their age, gender, and job, alongside…

This is not the first time Akhuetie has turned hair into mesmerizing, three-dimensional objects. The 33 year old first carved out a distinctive space for herself through creating what she calls “braided objects”—which exist somewhere…

Surat, January 1 Surat is the synthetic textile capital of India, 90 per cent of the country's synthetic cloth requirement is met by the Surat industry which is now facing an unprecedented…

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory helped measure how unpaired electrons in atoms at one end of a molecule can drive chemical reactivity on the molecule's opposite side. As described in a…

Cambridge scientists have used synthetic biology to create artificial enzymes programmed to target the genetic code of SARS-CoV-2 and destroy the virus, an approach that could be used to develop a new generation of antiviral drugs. Enzymes…

It is still a glimpse into the future: Astronauts could be put into artificial hibernation and in this state be better protected from cosmic radiation. At present, there are already promising approaches to follow up such considerations. An…

In Alzheimer's disease, the degeneration of brain cells is linked to formation of toxic protein aggregates and deposits known as amyloid plaques. Similar processes play an important role also in type 2 diabetes. A research team under the…

Using an approach based on CRISPR proteins, MIT researchers have developed a new way to precisely control the amount of a particular protein that is produced in mammalian cells. This technique could be used to finely tune the production of…
