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

Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have—in collaboration with colleagues from Ludwig Maximilian ...

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

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

Scientists build a synthetic cell that grows, divides and replicates DNA using only non-living chemical components.

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 ...

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 ...

The study, “Integration of phospho-signaling and transcriptomics in single cells reveals distinct Th17 cell fates,” was published in Cell Reports. In the study, first author Seth Fortmann, M.D., Ph.D.

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, roughly one-fifth the width of a human hair, each cell contains a dense mix of proteins, organelles, and molecular ...
