The undergraduate minor in biological engineering teaches students to create biological processes and products for application in a myriad of fields, from pharmaceuticals to biomaterials to ...

The Jewett Lab has spent years reimagining biological processes to advance technological progress. Recently, the lab helped ...

In the intricate landscape of human biochemistry, few processes wield as much influence over overall health as methylation. This fundamental cellular mechanism, involving the transfer of methyl groups ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking cryo-optical microscopy technique that freezes living cells mid-action, capturing ultra-detailed snapshots of fast biological processes. By rapidly ...

To study biological processes, scientists often take snapshots of the molecules in cells, such as proteins and nucleotides, at specific points in time. In spatial biology, they can leverage molecular ...

While chronological age is easily measured, it fails to capture the complex biological processes that determine the rate of aging. A new proteomic aging clock may predict biological age, mortality ...

Many biological processes exhibit daytime differences governed by rhythmic exposure to sunlight, termed circadian rhythms. Researchers at Penn State recently found, in mice, that a protein critical to ...

In aging research, so-called hallmarks of aging have been established. They describe fundamental biological changes that ...
