Getting it over the finish line was a labor of love—and now, more than five years after her death, the lab of former Sloan ...

In a study published in Science, USC researchers paired a biological discovery with an engineering feat to create more ...

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

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

Their bodies and their genomes were built in the lab from scratch, each molecule specified precisely. According to John Glass ...

Consider the brake. Not the engine, which gets all the attention, but the brake, the quiet thing that decides how fast a system is allowed to go.

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.

A recent study published in Cell Death & Disease suggests that specific cellular abnormalities in the brain associated with ...

A simulation study of MAPbI₃ perovskite solar cells shows that quasi-sinusoidal interface texturing outperforms pyramidal and ...

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has shown that nerve ...

A queen bee may be shaped by more than its famous royal diet. “The discovery is very cool and thought-provoking,” says Thomas Seeley, a biologist at Cornell University who was not involved in the work ...

Chimpanzee naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be grown in cellular cultures, reveals a recent study. They successfully created chimpanzee early embryo models, called 'blastoids,' and found ...
