Cultivating 4D Tissues
Scientists have developed a biological system which lets cells form a desired shape by moulding their surrounding material - initially creating the world's first self-curving cornea. The cornea is the clear outer layer at the front of ...

Building a Bigger Brain
The human brain owes its characteristic wrinkled appearance to its outer layer, the cerebral cortex. During human evolution, the neocortex, the evolutionarily youngest part of the cerebral cortex, expanded dramatically and had to fold into ...

X Chromosome: How Genetics Becomes Egalitarian
In cell biology, men and women are unequal: men have an X chromosome, while women have two. How can we get around this difference? Geneticists from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, turned to some historic research dating from ...

Tying the Knot: New DNA Nanostructures
Knots are indispensable tools for such human activities as sailing, fishing and rock climbing, (not to mention, tying shoes). But tying a knot in a lacelike strand of DNA, measuring just billionths of a meter in length, requires ...
