A brown dwarf situated at around 100 light years from the sun has been discovered by four users of a newly-launched citizen-science tool,
Bacterial cells have been turned into little factories that produce cancer drugs. The new findings documenting the technique used to transform bacteria into drug-making machines are published in the journal Biotechnology and Bioengineering. A team of researchers from the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability of Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) has modified bacterial species E. coli to produce
