Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have—in collaboration with colleagues from Ludwig Maximilian ...

A framework for analyzing single-cell genomics data, in which geometrical properties are harnessed to obtain insights on cellular diversity, including precise clustering, clear visualizations, and ...

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

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

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

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

The sunlight-collecting organelles known as chloroplasts solve a packing problem: how to optimize photosynthesis without sustaining damage from dangerously intense rays. Living on light is a dangerous ...

TU Delft researchers developed a novel hexagonal microtextured glass that enhances light scattering up to 50%, improving optical performance in thin-film silicon solar cells. The technology shows ...

Researchers have developed a way to 3D print custom micrometer-sized structures directly into the interior of living cells. As reported in Advanced Materials, the investigators used their method to ...

Biomedical research typically follows a familiar path: developing treatments that block, enhance or mutate certain signaling pathways, genes or proteins to change the function of different cells in ...
