A new easy-to-use legal tool that enables exchange of biological material between research institutes and companies launches today.

A movement is under way that will fast-forward the design of new plant traits. It takes inspiration from engineering and the software industry, and is being underpinned in Cambridge and Norwich by an initiative called OpenPlant.

Scientists discover highly asymmetric and branched patterns are the result of  physical forces and local instabilities; research has important implications for understanding biofilms and multicellular systems.

Cambridge researchers have developed a new technique for measuring and mapping gene and cell activity through fluorescence in living plant tissue.

Creating circuits from multiple components is routine in engineering. Can living systems be constructed using similar principles?
