Scientists at the University of Minnesota say they have built the most life-like synthetic cell yet, creating a laboratory-made system assembled entirely from nonliving components that can grow, ...

Knights of science have long chased a biologic holy grail: transforming a soup of raw chemicals into self-sustaining life. Now, a team led by synthetic biologist Kate Adamala, of the University of ...

A landmark study due to start in the coming months aims to test a method for rejuvenating our immune system in older age. The Phase 1 trial will target senescent T cells, which accumulate as we age or ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have long dreamed of discovering the alchemy by which chemicals can be turned into life. On Wednesday, a team at the University of Minnesota announced that it had taken a major step toward ...

Researchers have developed a way to program human cells to perform calculations and make autonomous decisions, similar to how computer chips work. In a new study published in Nature Communications, Ph ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel cells critical to retinal health for the first time. When injected into mouse ...
