Christopher H. Contag explores how tissue regeneration involves organized interactions beyond just cell replacement, highlighting two emerging technologies ...

Genetically engineered cell lines used in biomedical research have long been prone to misidentification and unauthorized use, wasting billions of dollars each year and jeopardizing critical scientific ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

Fresh from raising $200 million, Colossal Biosciences announced it has genetically engineered the Colossal Woolly Mouse, with a warm coat taken from the genes of the extinct woolly mammoth. Dallas and ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

Dallas-based Colossal says it is one step closer to bringing back the woolly mammoth. Colossal Biosciences announced Tuesday that it had created the Colossal woolly mouse, genetically engineered mice ...

Genetic engineers can design and assemble sophisticated gene circuits to program cells with new functions, but important signaling molecules can become diluted as these cells grow and divide, causing ...

Once a defining tree of eastern forests, the American chestnut was nearly erased by a foreign fungus within a few human generations. A genetically engineered line known as Darling 54 has now pushed ...

Bigger, tastier tomatoes and eggplants could soon grace our dinner plates thanks to Johns Hopkins scientists who have discovered genes that control how large the fruits will grow. The research—led by ...
