Researchers at Harbin Institute of Technology discovered a dual-lock mechanism in the bacterial Retron Ec78 system. This mechanism safely stores toxic proteins to prevent accidental cell death while allowing rapid response to phage infection.
NNB Nutrition, a supplier of dietary supplement ingredients, raised nearly 200 million RMB to expand R&D and manufacturing. The company utilizes a multi-technology approach including synthetic biology, chemical synthesis, and plant extraction to serve global brands.
Researchers have developed an artificial cell capable of undergoing a few rounds of division. The process requires significant external material input to sustain the division cycles.
Dr. Liu Cheng discusses the underlying philosophy of cancer treatment and the potential for CAR-T therapy to achieve cancer cures within 20 years. The article explores the evolution of immunotherapy as a primary weapon against malignant tumors.
Researchers used AI tools to redesign part of the ribosome, enabling protein synthesis with only 19 amino acids instead of the standard 20. This modification targets synthetic biology applications by altering fundamental genetic machinery.
Colossal Biosciences, valued at $10.2bn with celebrity backers like Tiger Woods and Paris Hilton, announced last year the de-extinction of the dire wolf through three pups born after over 10,000 years of extinction. The company operates from a Dallas business park and is now targeting the dodo. CEO cites moral obligation while critics decry it as 'tech bro' hype undermining conservation.
