Global collaborations have made promising strides towards building artificial cells ‘bottom up’ from constituent parts 1, but the current state-of-the art results are still far from resembling ...

Making artificial cells more representative of real living cells helps researchers to study cell behavior, but previous approaches using microcapsules haven't been ideal. To employ bacteria in the ...

Researchers at New York University have created artificial Hox genes—which plan and ... determining the plan for where cells go along the axis, as well as what body parts they make up. Hox genes ...

Expanding new medical treatments requires pushing — and sometimes breaking — the boundaries of what currently defines therapeutics. One of those boundaries is the very definition of a cell.

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 ...

Chloroplasts, the parts of cells that allow plants and algae to ... This research points to new possibilities in tissue engineering. Artificial organs, artificial meat, and skin sheets made ...

A new study has found that implanting an “artificial lymph node” under ... armpits and groin – that form key parts of the immune system. “[Lymph nodes] are a landing spot where T cells, the immune ...

While the cells have similar parts, the researchers weren’t sure ... The researchers inserted an artificial gene into human embryonic kidney cells. This artificial gene largely matches the ...
