For the first time, a research team has succeeded in emulating natural cell communication using synthetic cells. A team of researchers led by Professor Cornelia Palivan from the University of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Her science communication experience spans journalism ... To this end, scientists are creating lipid-based synthetic doppelgängers of cells and organelles to ask fundamental questions about biology.

Synthetic suppressor T cells successfully curbed CAR T cell proliferation in ... She has a background in microbiology. Her science communication work spans journalism and public engagement. A ...

To guide the development of their synthetic embryo, the researchers put together cultured stem cells representing ... to promote their growth and communication with each other, eventually self ...

Genes aren't the sole driver instructing cells to build multicellular structures, tissues, and organs. In a new paper ...

Until recently, cells were all-natural beings, living cell begetting living cell. That’s changing as synthetic biologists and engineers are learning to create synthetic cells that may someday ...

Researchers have created synthetic mouse embryos out of stem cells, removing the need for sperm, eggs and even a womb. They were then grown to almost half the entire gestation period, at which ...

There is also the possibility of creating communication networks between synthetic and natural cells and therefore of developing an interface between them. In the long term, this could pave the ...
