From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.
Their bodies and their genomes were built in the lab from scratch, each molecule specified precisely. According to John Glass ...
Scientists built a synthetic cell that combines more lifelike properties than ever before — proof of concept that it’s possible to bring nonliving materials to life, or something close to it, in the ...
From chemical building blocks, scientists have created synthetic cells that have most of the hallmarks of life.
In a new study published in Science titled, “Mitochondrial metabolism and signaling direct dendritic cell function in antitumor immunity,” researchers from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have ...
Lasker and her team identified the hidden architecture of biomolecular condensates, which are made up of an intricate network of filaments. Credit: Scripps Research For years, biomolecular condensates ...
DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...
