Fluorophores have transformed the way we study biological systems, enabling non-invasive
studies in cells and intact organisms, which increase our understanding of complex …

Background Proteins, which comprise one of the major classes of biomolecules that
constitute a cell, interact with other cellular factors during both their biogenesis and …

Synthetic strategies for optically controlling gene expression may enable the precise
spatiotemporal control of genes in any combination of cells that cannot be targeted with …

Genetic code expansion in multicellular organisms is currently limited to the use of
repurposed amber stop codons. Here, we introduce a system for the use of quadruplet …

Numerous mutants of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans with surface abnormalities
have been isolated by utilizing their resistance to a variety of bacterial pathogens …

Two thirds of the 302 neurons in C. elegans form bilaterally symmetric pairs in its physical
connectome, and similar gross morphological symmetries are seen in the nervous systems …

This chapter will explore the diversity of modern synthetic methods available to practitioners
in the ever‐expanding field of chemical biology. The chapter begins by providing a general …

Body axis elongation is a fundamental morphogenetic process, involving cell shape
changes powered by mechanical forces through small incremental steps which need to be …

Efforts to model computation in biological neural networks require knowledge of the
structure of the network, the dynamics that play across it, and a network simple enough to be …
