Researchers from UNSW Sydney have built the first artificial protein motor capable of taking controlled, directional steps ...

What if the mechanical properties of a cell could be programmed like the components of a machine? Researchers at the ...

Higher levels of circulating vitamin A are linked to better lung function in children and adults with asthma, while vitamin D ...

A programmable protein motor walks along DNA tracks in controlled directions, opening a path to synthetic nanomachines and ...

University of Minnesota researchers created SpudCell, the first bottom-up synthetic cell that feeds, grows, replicates DNA and divides.

Scientists built SpudCell, a synthetic cell that grows, divides, and passes DNA to offspring from non-living parts.

For decades, creating life from non-living materials has largely belonged to science fiction. Now, scientists say they have crossed an important scientific milestone – by building a synthetic cell ...

Many times, scientists embark on a study looking for evidence for a particular hypothesis, and in the process, they come across something totally unexpected and different from their original purpose.

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

Scientists have discovered a rare genetic condition which causes people to age at a much faster rate, offering fresh insights ...

This study demonstrates that higher plasma vitamin A is associated with better lung function in children and adults with ...

Scientists have created the world’s first man-made cell that can eat, grow and reproduce. Called SpudCell, it is the work of ...
