Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that feeds, grows and replicates like a natural cell, a ...

How does a single cell build a brain with billions of precisely organized neurons? Researchers suggest that brain cells use ...

This cell-like structure can grow, feed, divide and compete. Researchers ponder what it means for the future of synthetic ...

From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.

In this case, the gene encoding T7 RNA polymerase was added to the SpudCell genome, and it was made by those artificial cells ...

A radio telescope project known as the Deep Synoptic Array is moving forward. It aims to detect radio waves emitted by stars, planets, galaxies and other celestial objects.

How large, fully folded proteins can pass through cell membranes without destroying them has long been one of the open questions in cell biology. Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), Leonid ...

Female fertility depends on the successful growth and maturation of eggs (oocytes) within ovarian follicles. Within these ...

Engineers have developed a new way to monitor how tiny lab-grown human heart tissues beat—by effectively "listening" to the ...
