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 ...

University of Minnesota researchers say "SpudCell" is the most life-like synthetic cell yet, able to grow, divide and pass ...

Scientists have long understood that parts of cells, called organelles, evolved to have certain shapes and sizes because their forms are closely related to how they function. Now, Johns Hopkins ...

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that can feed, grow and replicate like a natural cell.

Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...

Most human nerve cells last a lifetime without renewal. A trait echoed within the cells' components, some enduring as long as the organism itself. Most human nerve cells last a lifetime without ...

Learn how SpudCell, a synthetic cell built from chemical parts, can grow, divide, copy its DNA, and bring life-like behavior ...

Cells sitting side by side in the same tissues are not identical. Each cell carries its own subtly different chemical signature—a hidden individuality that can reveal how diseases take root and spread ...

With local production meeting only 25% of current value chain needs, the move aims to shield India's upcoming EV and energy ...

A research team led by Professor Joongoo Lee in the Department of Chemical Engineering at POSTECH (Pohang University of ...
