UCSF researchers are using tiny "mini-organs" to model disease, personalize treatment, and understand human development. They ...

Synthetic cell SpudCell, the first built from non-living components by University of Minnesota synthetic biologists Kate ...

Scientists have created a cell from scratch and believe they can engineer it, which would be a medical phenomenon.

By capturing malaria parasites mid-invasion, researchers revealed the structure of a key invasion complex and used it to design a mini-protein that prevented parasites from entering red blood cells.

Single neurons in mouse sensorimotor cortex are organized by their activity features into distinct subpopulations with area-spanning footprints whose boundaries align closely with anatomical and ...

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

Scientists say they have developed the world’s first synthetic cell with a complete life cycle, built entirely from non-living chemical components, in a breakthrough which could open the door to ...

While many of life's mysteries remain unsolved, every biologist can describe the basic processes performed by a living organism, including energy use, reproduction, growth and development. While these ...

For nearly half a century, scientists have known that malaria parasites force their way into human red blood cells through a ring-shaped structure called the moving junction. What no one could work ...
