For over a decade, scientists have made extraordinary progress on the long-held dream of fabricating an entire cell from nonliving molecules and materials. Such synthetic (or "engineered") cells ...

Recently, scientists harnessed these movements using beams of light to control cellular behavior, taking a big step toward creating programmable synthetic cells. Every living thing—from bacteria ...

Researchers have harnessed synthetic biology to engineer chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells that precisely target and destroy cancer. However, these powerful cells can also attack healthy tissues ...

Cees Dekker, Delft University of Technology In the future, synthetic cells may become factories that produce proteins and deliver drugs to treat human disease, but for now, they reside in the realm of ...

(CN) — For the first time, scientists have used generative AI to create synthetic DNA that can control how genes behave in ...

Synthetic biology is reshaping how we approach therapeutics. Using engineering principles in biology, it is possible to “rewire” cells by reconstructing the underlying biological code to create new ...

A study published in the journal Cell marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that ...
