ETH researchers have developed a new method in which they use light to draw patterns of molecules that guide living cells. The approach allows for a closer look at the development of multicellular organisms – and in the future may even play a part in novel therapies. Highly complex organisms can arise from a single...

New genetic engineering technique could help design, study biological systems
Technique works in organisms from bacteria to animals Sergej Djuranovic (right) and graduate student Laura Arthur look at plates of bacteria producing precisely calibrated levels of a protein. The two are part of a team that has developed a new technique — effective in species as diverse as bacteria, plants and humans — to regulate...
