The mechanical process of cell division exerts powerful, if microscopic, forces. How do the molecular machines that power it ...

More than 120 new Florida laws kick in on Wednesday, July 1. Some are minor changes, but some you need to know now.

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

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

The lab-made cell can grow, copy its DNA, and divide but cannot survive independently or be considered fully alive, ...

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

From chemical building blocks, scientists have created synthetic cells that have most of the hallmarks of life.

The human-made cells show many hallmarks of life, but they can't make all their necessary internal structures or divide for ...

A prototype cell partly capable of replicating itself has been created using 36 existing bacterial genes, but it's not really ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a promising new approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease by turning ordinary brain cells into powerful plaque-clearing machines. Instead of requiring frequent antibody ...
