In the 1950s, Stanley Miller and Nobel laureate Harold Urey conducted experiments at the University of Chicago in which they ...

Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have created the world's simplest artificial cell capable ...

A world-first artificial cell can chase chemicals using only a membrane, an enzyme, and a pore—no DNA or motors needed.

In its most basic form, this is the idea of a stem cell. We can say that human cells arise from a process of “differentiation ...

Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have shown how to program tiny bubbles to follow chemical trails.

Method combines genomics technologies with computational modeling to predict changes in multicellular behavior, such as cell communication.

Scientists at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute and the University of Delaware have discovered a surprisingly simple explanation for how our bodies stay so ...

A tiny artificial cell built from just three proteins kept 24-hour time for days, offering new insights into biological rhythm and stability.

In the same vein as weather forecast models that predict developing storms, researchers now have developed a method to ...

Mammalian cells are tricky evolution hosts. They grow slowly, contain large genomes, and regulate protein behavior through ...

In the same vein as weather forecast models that predict developing storms, researchers now have developed a method to predict the cell activity in tissues over time.

A century ago, physicists laid the foundation of quantum mechanics. Today, with greater control of quantum systems, scientists are making major leaps in ...
