Mechanical forces impinge on us from all directions, transmitting valuable information about the external environment. Mechanosensory cells transduce these mechanical forces and transmit this sensory ...

Bacteria need to be able to adapt to the changing and challenging environments in which they live to survive and multiply. One of the genetic processes by which they do this is transduction. In this ...

That’s gene editing. On paper, it is merely the rearrangement of letters. However, the road to editing genes in hopes of a therapeutic benefit is difficult to travel. Additionally, researchers want ...

The ability to alter the genetic composition of living cells has revolutionized biology. Scientific advances, from treating genetic disorders through gene therapy to reprograming skin cells into ...

Signal transduction is the term for the process which causes chemical and physical signals to be transmitted within a cell as a series of molecular events. The most common signal transduction process ...
