Scientists Crack The Molecular Code That Regulates Neuron Excitability

A key question in protein biochemistry is how proteins recognize “correct” interaction partners in a sea of cellular factors. Nowhere is that more critical to know than in the brain, where interactions governing channel protein activity can alter an organism’s behavior. A team of biologists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies has recently deciphered […]

Stanford Researcher Uses Living Cells To Create ‘Biotic’ Video Games

Video game designers are always striving to make games more lifelike, but they will have a hard time topping what Stanford researcher Ingmar Riedel-Kruse is up to. He is introducing life itself into games. Riedel-Kruse and his lab group have developed the first video games in which a player’s actions influence the behavior of living […]
