In biology, it's sometimes said that form follows function; the shape of a protein can have a major impact on how it works, or a herd of animals might behave in a particular way. But new work has ...

When George Church, PhD, and co-founders established Colossal Biosciences, they envisioned applying their advancements in CRISPR gene editing to the loss of biodiversity, species preservation, and ...

Scientists have engineered a meat product that can be cultivated in a lab, and are suggesting that it contains more texture and natural flavors than other lab-grown meats that are currently being ...

The grand ideas of synthetic biology — like bringing back the woolly mammoth — seem very far away. But oftentimes I find that ideas that seem futuristic are already around us, like having a cochlear ...

IT is not unusual to hear statements that a characteristic feature of physical phenomena, as opposed to the phenomena of life, is that the form does not play any part at all in the former, and that ...
