Pasatiempo - Christof Koch has spent much of the past three decades working to locate human consciousness in the electrochemical interactions among neurons.

The New York Times Magazine - New research shows they shared many behaviors that we long believed to be uniquely human. Why did science get them so wrong?

New Scientist - Bioelectrical signals direct blobs of cells to transform into any part of the body. Harnessing it can create freakish animals with two heads - and may spark a medical revolution

Popular Science - One morning in spring 2000, Michael Levin flopped in his chair and clicked on his desktop computer.

TIME - Dr. Carl June’s lab at the University of Pennsylvania looks like any other biology research hub.

Scientists at the Allen Institute for Cell Science used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to insert fluorescent tags for major cellular structures into human induced pluripotent stem cells. Unlike typical methods which flood the cell with fluorescent protein, these highly precise tags show exactly when and where the structures are at various stages in the cell’s lifecycle.

Today the Allen Institute for Cell Science is releasing a set of gene-edited stem cells to the public that are “pluripotent,” meaning they have the ability to turn into any tissue or organ in the body.

A nonprofit research group is giving scientists a new way to study the secret lives of human cells.

Researchers in Seattle have taken advantage of two of the hottest trends in biotech – cell reprogramming and CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing – to create human stem cells that glow as they turn into different tissue types.
