RNA basic building block produced for the first time

The Austrian researchers are the first in the world to demonstrate 'YeiN', an enzyme that is a suitable biocatalyst for the production of C-nucleosides, the basic building blocks of RNA.

Scientists bioengineer a cellular speedometer

An all-Princeton research team has identified bacteria that can detect the speed of flowing fluids.

Scientists Complete the Successful Transplant of Lab-Grown Lungs

The achievement opens up the possibility of using similarly bioengineered lungs for humans in need of a lung transplant.

Engineers created 3-D shapes from living tissue

Researchers use a precision 3D cell-patterning technology called DNA-programmed assembly of cells (DPAC) to set up an initial spatial template of a tissue that then folds itself into complex shapes.

Scientists 'paint' the world's smallest Mona Lisa on a DNA

New techniques in DNA self-assembly allow researchers to create the largest to-date customizable patterns with nanometer precision on a budget.
