Scientists at the University of Groningen created an oscillating system using simple molecules to achieve periodic catalytic activity. The system enables enhanced chemical selectivity, favoring one reaction over others, and has potential applications in polymer synthesis and drug delivery.
A new study published in Collective Intelligence journal suggests that evolutionary forces may be fueling collective tendencies to discriminate. The research recommends fostering environments where desired behavior emerges naturally through evolutionary dynamics rather than regulating against undesired outcomes.
Cells lacking negative feedback loops become insensitive to growth stimuli, similar to cancerous cells. Researchers used automated imaging and mathematical analysis to show that mutant cells cannot detect growth factor levels.
Researchers have developed a synthetic biology advance that creates a stable, fast and programmable genetic clock in E. coli cells. The clock's blink rate changes when temperature, energy source or other environmental conditions change, enabling the detection of environmental information.
