It’s this inability to replicate that makes these programmable cyborg cells such an important breakthrough. In order for artificial cells to truly be useful, they need to be able to carry out ...

Scientists have been working for decades to create synthetic cells that mimic key functions of biological cells. The challenge has been to make the artificial cells dynamic, responsive, and ...

The artificial beads are made of solid ... Molecular mechanism of the nuclear protein import cycle. Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 8, 195–208 (2007). Strambio-De-Castillia, C., ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI ...

DNA nanorobots control artificial cell membranes, mimicking living cell functions It creates transport channels in synthetic cells to enhance drug delivery Synthetic cells can replicate living ...

The transfer of this principle to artificial cells is a challenge in synthetic biology. Advances in DNA nanotechnology now offer promising solutions. They allow the creation of novel transport ...

How is a normal cell transformed into a cancerous cell? The proteins involved in cell division events no longer appropriately drive progression from one cell cycle stage to the next. Cells that ...
