A tiny bubble of lipids, enzymes and DNA has done something biologists have chased for years: it carried out a full cycle of ...
Unlike accidental cell death, some cells can actively decide to die through a controlled process. This is called programmed ...
Scientists created the first synthetic cell from scratch that grows and replicates, offering hope for future cancer ...
Learn how SpudCell, a synthetic cell built from chemical parts, can grow, divide, copy its DNA, and bring life-like behavior ...
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 ...
Cancer arises when the normal controls on cell growth, differentiation and death are subverted. Under physiological conditions, cells proliferate only in response to external stimuli, replicate ...
Inside every cell are lipid molecules that make up cellular membranes, helping organelles communicate and respond to stress.
