Scientists at Rice University have engineered living cells to light up like tiny beacons, revealing protein changes in real time. This groundbreaking method could transform the way researchers study ...

One of the big stories this year is the decline of sustainability as a whole, and plant-based meat alternatives in particular. As investors become more discerning about where they put their money, and ...

A new report has found that as the price of animal products skyrockets in the UK, certain plant-based proteins are now cheaper than meat. London-based charity and independent thinktank the Green ...

The brain's mechanisms for repairing injuries caused by trauma or degenerative diseases are not yet known in detail. Now, a study by the University of Barcelona describes a new strategy based on stem ...

Structures called desmosomes connect cells to each other and transfer mechanical stress. They are especially important in tissues under continual mechanical stress, such as heart muscle (pictured).

Dynamic regulation of cell–cell adhesion is fundamental to numerous biological processes and is the key to engineering multicellular structures. Optogenetic tools offer precise spatiotemporal control ...
