The U of M has built the world’s first synthetic cell that can grow, divide and replicate, opening the door to new possibilities in medicine and engineering.

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 ...

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

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

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.

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 ...

A group of researchers from Chinese PV manufacturer Longi and China’s Yangzhou University has developed a new manufacturing technique to mitigate laser shock waves in the production of heterojunction ...

Axons in the thalamus (pink) extended toward the cortex, while those in the cortex (green) extended toward the thalamus at 14 days post-fusion. Credit: Fumitaka Osakada Scientists rebuilt human brain ...

Summary: Researchers have identified two specific proteins, gliomedin and CNTNAP4, that act as a “handshake” mechanism allowing inhibitory chandelier cells to connect precisely with excitatory ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Scientists can now watch a conversation unfold between brain cells in real time, seeing each chemical message pass from one neuron to another in the span of mere milliseconds. This breakthrough in ...
