Schematic of synthetic protocells: Upon activation with a light pulse, synthetic cell organelles release substance A. The substance enters the receiver protocell and its synthetic organelle containing ...

Treating inflammatory or autoimmune disorders in which the immune system overreacts and starts attacking the body can involve shutting down the whole immune system, and this may increase the risk of ...

A research team has developed the "SUPER (Synthetic Upcycling Platform for Engineering Regulators)" platform, which ...

Using DNA and proteins, scientists have created new synthetic cells that act like living cells. Blurring the line between artificial and living materials, these cells can be reprogrammed to perform ...

A synthetic cell that can be activated by a magnetic field to release a medicine whilst deep in the body has been created by chemists at UCL (University College London) and the University of Oxford.

Cells constantly shift and transform, triggering the complex choreography that shapes living organisms. Whether dividing into new cells or sculpting an embryo, these tiny movements rely on chemical ...

Cells use phase separation to organize their inner environment, creating compartments for essential biochemical reactions without the use of membranes. Tian's team realized that by engineering similar ...

Chemists have created a synthetic cell that can be activated by a magnetic field to release a medicine whilst deep in the body. Synthetic cells are non-living mimics of real cells. They have a fatty ...

A Danish company says they’ve found a way in helping to stop cells from “micro-evolving” during manufacturing to produce fewer monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Enduro Genetics, which specializes in ...

In pursuit of a deeper understanding of cellular life, biologists use patterns in data as a springboard for probing specific elements in complex systems. Delete a gene here; express a protein there; ...
