The prevalence of collective cancer invasion as a mechanism of cancer metastasis is widely reported, but the regulatory mechanisms at the invading fronts of tumors remain largely unknown. Conflicting ...

This cell-like structure can grow, feed, divide and compete. Researchers ponder what it means for the future of synthetic ...

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

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

Inside every cell are lipid molecules that make up cellular membranes, helping organelles communicate and respond to stress.

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

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have found how plant cells respond to stress. If their energy ...

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

A new form of CAR T-cell therapy has been designed to find and destroy the cancer-driving stem cells responsible for a group of blood cancers known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), while ...
