The goals of aging biology research are broad and ambitious—to understand how a multitude of genes, pathways and mechanisms at multiple scales contribute to declines in function, health and lifespan ...

Collective behavior in biological systems emerges from local interactions among individuals, enabling groups to adapt to dynamic environments. Traditional modeling approaches, such as bottom-up and ...

Christina A. Sheil, MD, explains why polypharmacy has become one of the most significant challenges in modern healthcare.

Systems biology is a rapidly evolving discipline that examines the complex interactions underlying biological function ...

Cells naturally process external signals through intricate genetic circuits, enabling the adaptation to diverse environments. These circuits rely on complex, nonlinear interactions among genes and ...

Ever better experimental techniques allow us to perform experiments under tightly controlled conditions and can deliver gigantic amounts of data reflecting the complexity of biology. This has vastly ...

Integrative actuators and sensors within a single active device offer compelling capabilities for developing robotics, prosthetic limbs, and minimally invasive surgical tools. But instrumenting these ...

A $20 million grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) will support the establishment and operation of the National Synthesis Center for Emergence in the Molecular and Cellular Sciences ...

In 2020, researchers engineered living, programmable organisms from Xenopus laevis, calling them xenobots, which could self-assemble and even reproduce. Building on this work, scientists later ...

Scientists want to increase their understanding of circadian rhythms, those internal 24-hour biological clock cycles of sleeping and waking that occur in organisms, ranging from humans to plants to ...
