Biological neural circuits (BNCs) are complex networks of neurons and synapses that carry out specific actions when activated. Without them, we would have to remind ourselves to put one foot in front ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it takes for cells to behave in desired ways—for example, getting them to produce ...

Deciphering gene circuits can be tedious and immensely time consuming. Modifying, or designing gene circuits from previously identified pathways presents further challenges. “There are many possible ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have devised a machine learning approach to modeling the interactions between complex variables in engineered bacteria that would otherwise be too cumbersome to ...
