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 ...

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 ...

Scientists from the University of Minnesota say they have created the first-ever synthetic cell built entirely from scratch, and seen it go through an entire 'life' cycle – including reproduction.

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. By K. R. Callaway SpudCell is a synthetic cell made by scientists at the ...

Matthew Herper covers medical innovation — both its promise and its perils. Researchers have created what they say may count as the first synthetic cell, and have started a public benefit corporation ...

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that can feed, grow and replicate like a natural cell. This breakthrough in synthetic biology could usher in an era of ...
