Biology Singularity

Important discoveries in fundamental biology are occurring almost daily. Building discovery on discovery--using revolutionary new tools of research--bio-researchers are opening brave new worlds of knowledge.

Brian Wang presents an array of progress in transgenic animal research

Multiple groups of researchers are closing in on the genetics of cancer

Distinctive patterns of micro-RNA in cells may provide important clues about disease states, for diagnosing pathological conditions.

Small interfering RNA can be sculpted into drugs quickly, and may soon be therapeutically injected into cells via a hollowed-out virus.

Vanderbilt University researchers have developed a nanotech device for detecting cell signaling between different cells of the immune system.

A scientist at UCSD is looking at the basic 68 molecules of life, and how a more intensive study of these molecules might provide basic insights into strategic intervention in disease states.

And so on. We live in a biological world. It is long past time that we understood what that meant.
