    An abundant enzyme in marine microbes may be responsible for production of the greenhouse gas. Industrial and agricultural activities produce large amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Many bacteria also produce methane as a byproduct of their metabolism. Some of this naturally released methane comes from the ocean, a phenomenon…

    New technique 3-D prints programmed cells into living devices for first time. MIT engineers have devised a 3-D printing technique that uses a new kind of ink made from genetically programmed living cells. The cells are engineered to light up in response to a variety of stimuli. When mixed with a slurry of hydrogel and…

    Whitehead Institute researchers have pinpointed distinct muscle subsets that orchestrate and pattern regrowth. Researchers at the Whitehead Institute have illuminated an important role for different subtypes of muscle cells in orchestrating the process of tissue regeneration. In a paper appearing online today in Nature, they reveal that a subtype of muscle fibers in flatworms is required…
