New EMBO/NPG journal - A first in systems biology publishing
Molecular Systems Biology, a new electronic journal from the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) and Nature Publishing Group (NPG), is now live at http://www.molecularsystemsbiology.com. view more (2005-04-15)
Synthetic biology: The next biotech revolution is brewing
The safety of early applications of synthetic biology may be adequately addressed by the existing regulatory framework for biotechnology, especially in contained laboratories and manufacturing facilities. view more (2009-03-25)
Genetically engineered bacteria compute the route
US researchers have created 'bacterial computers' with the potential to solve complicated mathematics problems. view more (2009-07-24)
Nanotech and synbio: Americans don't know what's coming
A groundbreaking poll finds that almost half of U.S. adults have heard nothing about nanotechnology, and nearly nine in 10 Americans say they have heard just a little or nothing at all about the emerging field of synthetic biology, according to a new report released by the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies (PEN) and Peter D. Hart Research. view more (2008-09-30)
Mass spectrometry methods database gets major update
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently added 150 new methods-nicknamed "recipes"-to a database already containing 255 procedures for analyzing specific synthetic polymers using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. view more (2006-05-26)
Oregano oil works as well as synthetic insecticides to tackle common beetle pest
New research in the Society of Chemical Industry's Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture shows that oregano oil works as well as synthetic insecticides to combat infestation by a common beetle, Rhizoppertha dominica, found in stored cereals. view more (2008-05-22)
Diamond detectors - The Physics Congress 2002
Diamond has an extremely high resilience to radiation - three orders of magnitude higher than silicon - making it an ideal material for detectors that monitor radioactive emissions inside the hostile environments found in nuclear energy plants. But because of the high price of real diamond, synthetic diamond is needed. The latest developments in... view more... (2002-04-02)
Using combinatorial libraries to engineer genetic circuits advances synthetic biology
Streamlining the construction of synthetic gene networks has led a team of Boston University researchers to develop a technique that couples libraries of diversified components with computer modeling to guide predictable gene network construction without the back and forth tweaking. view more (2009-04-23)
Scientists call for global push to advance research in synthetic biology
With research backgrounds ranging from materials engineering to molecular biophysics, seventeen leading scientists issued a statement today announcing that, much as the discovery of DNA and creation of the transistor revolutionized science, there is a new scientific field on the brink of revolutionizing our approach to problems ranging from... view more...

Scientists equip bacteria with custom chemo-navigational system
Using an innovative method to control the movement of Escherichia coli in a chemical environment, Emory University scientists have opened the door to powerful new opportunities in drug delivery, environmental cleanup and synthetic biology. view more (2007-05-11)
Researchers Find Synthetic Molecules That May Literally Be The Key To “Locking Away” Unwanted DNA
Research chemists have a found a class of synthetic molecules that could quite literally act as a key which could lock away sections of DNA into a closely wound coil preventing proteins from interacting with particular sections of DNA code. By locking up the DNA in this way scientists could stop particular sequences of DNA from activating... view more... (2002-04-15)
Exploration of Saturn's rings aided by UK scientists
Scientists at the University of Sussex have produced synthetic 'cosmic dust' to help space researchers understand information gathered by a mission to Saturn. CASSINI, an unmanned probe launched by NASA in October 1997, is due to go into orbit around Saturn this summer. One of the aims of the CASSINI mission is to study the planet's famous rings.... view more... (2004-01-20)
Understanding a cell's split personality aids synthetic circuits
As scientists work toward making genetically altered bacteria create living "circuits" to produce a myriad of useful proteins and chemicals, they have logically assumed that the single-celled organisms would always respond to an external command in the same way. view more (2009-10-05)
Synthetic molecules hold promise for new family of anti-cancer drugs
Synthetic molecules designed by two Hebrew University of Jerusalem researchers have succeeded in reducing and even eliminating the growth of human malignant tissues in mice, while having no toxic effects on normal tissue. view more (2008-06-05)
Boston University biomedical engineers teach bacteria to count
Biomedical engineers at Boston University have taught bacteria how to count. Professor James J. Collins and colleagues have wired a new sequence of genes that allow the microbes to count discrete events, opening the door for a host of potential applications, which could include drug delivery and sensing environmental hazards. view more (2009-05-29)
Finding the constant in bacterial communication
The Rosetta Stone of bacterial communication may have been found. Although they have no sensory organs, bacteria can get a good idea about what's going on in their neighborhood and communicate with each other, mainly by secreting and taking in chemicals from their surrounding environment. view more (2009-07-07)
Clean Power For The Future
Two scientists from the University of Surrey's Materials Chemistry Group within the School of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences, has been awarded almost £250,000 to further their research into new materials for use in fuel cell applications. Dr Saiful Islam and Dr Peter Slater received £178,000 from the Engineering and Physical... view more... (2003-08-11)
Scientists synthesize memory in yeast cells
Harvard Medical School researchers have successfully synthesized a DNA-based memory loop in yeast cells, findings that mark a significant step forward in the emerging field of synthetic biology. view more (2007-09-17)
Sustainable fertilizer: Urine and wood ash produce large harvest
Results of the first study evaluating the use of human urine mixed with wood ash as a fertilizer for food crops has found that the combination can be substituted for costly synthetic fertilizers to produce bumper crops of tomatoes without introducing any risk of disease for consumers. view more (2009-09-02)
Synthetic HDL: A new weapon to fight cholesterol problems
Buttery Christmas cookies, eggnog, juicy beef roast, rich gravy and creamy New York-style cheesecake. Happy holiday food unfortunately can send blood cholesterol levels sky high. view more (2009-01-12)
