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 ...

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

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

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

While many of life's mysteries remain unsolved, every biologist can describe the basic processes performed by a living organism, including energy use, reproduction, growth and development. While these ...

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

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

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 ...

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