Tumor initiation remains one of the least understood events in cancer biology, largely due to the challenge of dissecting the intricacy of the tumorigenic process in laboratory settings. The ...

Old-school electrical engineers—and plenty of older research scientists, even biologists like me—remember the days of building circuits from parts: capacitors, resistors, and transistors. The creation ...

Fighting cancer with artificial cells that are capable of detecting and treating it. This is the dual objective of a research team of the Department of Cellular, Computational and Integrative Biology ...

Stephen Quake, a bioengineer and applied physicist at Stanford University, has always been interested in the interface between physics and biology. During his work at the California Institute of ...

What do rainbows, inkjet printers, human skin, pregnancy tests and fish gills have in common? To answer this question, we must travel to what Albert Folch, a bioengineering professor at the University ...
