The rate of cell growth dropped nearly 12-fold when the enzyme Cdc24, necessary for the type of yeast growth known as budding, was targeted to the synthetic organelles.

In recent years scientists have made synthetic versions of key parts of the cell, such as chromosomes and ribosomes. Now researchers have developed the first working artificial prototype of an ...

Schematic of synthetic protocells: Upon activation with a light pulse, synthetic cell organelles release substance A. The substance enters the receiver protocell and its synthetic organelle ...

Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered ...

Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host cells and lost their independence in the course of evolution. A team of biologists headed by Professor Dr.

To this end, scientists are creating lipid-based synthetic doppelgängers of cells and organelles to ask fundamental questions about biology. Oskar Staufer , a biophysicist at the Leibniz Institute for ...
