Scientists developed SpudCell, the first synthetic cell to complete a full cell life cycle using only non-living chemical ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by DNA damage. Among the most dangerous lesions are DNA interstrand crosslinks ...

The basic pattern of genomic DNA methylation is established at the time of embryo implantation through a wave of de novo methylation, but CpG islands are protected through a mechanism that involves ...

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 ...

Cancer cells often survive treatment by fixing the DNA damage that therapy is meant to cause. Researchers found that UNI418 can disrupt this repair ability, leaving cancer cells more exposed. When ...

Scientists have built a synthetic cell from scratch in a world-first breakthrough that paves the way for creating entirely ...

Learn how SpudCell, a synthetic cell built from chemical parts, can grow, divide, copy its DNA, and bring life-like behavior ...

Synthetic cell SpudCell, the first built from non-living components by University of Minnesota synthetic biologists Kate ...

Researchers at Princeton University have harnessed AI to understand how drugs affect the dynamics of vital structures within the cell, introducing a tool that can map the shape of these structures to ...

Mfantsipim rose out of a spirit of social responsibility, and that spirit has survived the test of time and is evident in the lives of many Old Boys who work to improve the lives of many through ...

The microscopic yeast that could survive in association with a 5,300-year-old body feels unlikely, almost speculative. Yet the frozen remains of Ötzi, the Copper Age “Iceman” preserved in the Alps and ...
