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

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 ...

In recent years, the field of stem cell and developmental biology has seen remarkable breakthroughs that have deepened our understanding of how organisms grow, age and regenerate, with major ...

Nature is beautiful, powerful and essential. But nature is not always gentle. The same biological world that gives rise to ...

From the generation of embryo-like structures to the establishment of cell-based approaches to model or treat disease, the field of stem cell and developmental biology has impressively progressed ...

Their bodies and their genomes were built in the lab from scratch, each molecule specified precisely. According to John Glass, a pioneer in the field who works at the J. Craig Venter Institute in San ...

Cell biology is a branch of biological sciences that investigates the structure, function, dynamics, and regulation of cells as the fundamental units of life. It encompasses the study of cellular ...

Virtual cell models that enable the prediction of cell behavior across scales and biological contexts are rapidly emerging at the forefront of drug discovery. Tom Sercu, PhD, vice president of AI and ...

While these are not artificial life forms created entirely from scratch, the work demonstrates an unprecedented level of ...

A Science Immunology Review explains how memory B cells acquire diverse molecular, epigenetic, and tissue-specific programs ...

A tiny jellyfish, Turritopsis dohrnii, can reverse its life cycle. This remarkable ability allows it to revert to a juvenile polyp stage. Scientists are studying this process for insights into cell ...
