For the very first time, biologists packed nonliving components into a cell-like membrane, piece by piece, and witnessed the bag of molecules start to behave like life. The lab-made synthetic cell ...

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 ...

Myeloid cells, encompassing neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages, constitute the frontline of innate immunity and orchestrate inflammatory responses to infection and tissue damage. Activation of ...

A human brain starts as a single cell. Over time, that lone cell gives rise to an extraordinarily complex organ containing roughly 170 billion cells. One of the biggest questions in developmental ...

In this useful Tools & Resources article, the authors describe a new cryogenic light microscopy design and characterize its temperature and spatial stability. This compelling system avoids the ...
