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.
A video of SpudCell - a synthetic cell assembled entirely from non-living chemical components - containing both a genome and ...
The human-made cells show many hallmarks of life, but they can't make all their necessary internal structures or divide for ...
A delivery system that uses lipid nanoparticles to sneak proteins into cells can accomplish the same feat by smuggling therapeutic antibodies, new research has found.
The cells lining skin capillaries are constantly sending each other messages—tiny pulses of calcium that help regulate blood flow, sense physical forces and keep vessel walls intact. Scientists have ...
Spirulina is blue-green algae that’s packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and protein. It has a long history as a superfood. First eaten by the ancient Aztecs for its nutrition, spirulina was ...
