  • Organoids mimic therapies responses. The creation of these alive structures has allowed comparing the effect of the therapy received by the patients

    Artificial organoids generated from cancer cells

    July 5th, 2018Adult Stem Cells, NEWS and VIEWS, Stem Cells, Synthetic Biology

    Organoids mimic therapies responses We have published several articles about Potential applications of organoids that mimic different organs. We concluded that this creation of organic structures (organoids) similar to others in our body may have objective biomedical applications. On this occasion, an [...]

  • From a Synthetic biology bioethics perspective. New organisms which value must be considered to preserve the ecosystem and the environment.

    The Conception of Synthetic Entities from a Bioethics Perspective

    June 29th, 2018Artificial life, Ecology, Ethics of Scientific Research and Medical clinic, Genetics and Genomics, NEWS and VIEWS, Synthetic Biology

    Our Observatory published a paper in the journal Science and Engineering Ethics that for its relevance we want to make known our readers Synthetic biology bioethics perspective In this study, the authors affirmed that Synthetic biology opens up the possibility of producing new entities [...]

  • Cancer new treatment using synthetic biology. Regulating with synthetic gene networks the dosage, timing, and localization of gene expression to this means

    How could synthetic biology facilitate cancer treatments?

    May 11th, 2018Genetics and Genomics, NEWS and VIEWS, Synthetic Biology

    Cancer new treatment using synthetic biology At the present time, there are objective limitations for treating certain diseases, such as cancer. Now, Kitada and colleagues study published in NATURE (See HERE) have suggested that part of these limitations can be [...]
