How many times have you wondered about the Big Bang and theory of how life on Earth as we know it, came to be? Or what the very first spark of life looked like? Scientists just took a giant leap ...

Researchers at the University of Münster and Ruhr University Bochum have demonstrated for the first time in real time that the body's own defense cells use catecholamines—neurotransmitters such as ...

Researchers with the Charbonneau Cancer Institute at the University of Calgary and McMaster University have identified a unique target present on a specific group of solid cancerous tumors. Using this ...

Scientists at the University of Minnesota say they've made the first synthetic cell that can complete a life cycle, a major breakthrough that could lead to innovation in the medicine and engineering ...

Scientists at the University of Minnesota Wednesday announced that they created synthetic cells from non-living chemicals that can perform many of the functions of living cells, like feeding, growing, ...

Scientists have built a synthetic cell from nonliving chemical components that can feed, grow, and reproduce similarly to a natural cell. The prototype, named SpudCell, is fragile and limited, but ...
