Innovative biofibers made from a silk protein of the green lacewing are being developed at the Fraunhofer IAP in conjunction with AMSilk.
CRISPR Gene Editing On-a-Chip
Researchers from the Qin lab have developed a microfluidic cell deformation delivery method that uses physical constriction to deform and shear cells for delivery.
Indole: A Multifaceted Regulator of Behavior
In their review in BioEssays, Jeffrey Tomberlin et al. take a closer look at indole and how this molecule influences behavior in a wide variety of organisms.
Fight or die? How prokaryotes deal with infections
In their review in BioEssays, Eugene Koonin and Feng Zhang discuss the different outcomes when prokaryotes are infected by a virus.
Genes evolving in parallel to produce the same traits – less of a mystery
In their review in BioEssays, Bailey et al. present a model of a process that occurs more often than we’d suspect: identical genetic changes in evolutionarily unrelated populations.
From Wastewater to Self-Powered Papertronics
Researchers at the State University of New York-Binghamton have constructed a stackable, 3D-foldable bacteria-powered battery within a single sheet of paper for on-chip, disposable paper-based electronics.
Manufacturing Man-Made Magnetosomes
High-Throughput in situ Synthesis of Biomimetic Magnetite Loaded Nanovesicles Naturally occurring magnetite magnetic nanoparticles are produced by magnetic bacteria within liposomes called magnetosomes. These have numerous desirable properties, for example, they are...
