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 ...

To build their self-reproduction structures, the team began with an aqueous solution containing monomers to be polymerized, a ...

Communication between cells is central to ... selectins are adhesion molecules which bind to sugar molecules on other cells. Synthetic CAMS—How do they fare? In this study, the researchers ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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

Using a microscopy image and graphic rendering, the artists illustrate a minimal synthetic cell that can sense a directional chemical cue and self-organize in response. In a feat aimed at ...

Synthetic embryos are having a moment ... mammalian development to "talk" to one another. This communication is key, as the cells' interactive signals instruct the embryo's development.
