Fully cell-free process aims to democratize personalized cancer therapeutics with shorter turnaround and negligible bioburden ...

An international research team has uncovered a surprising way compartments within cells work together to defend themselves ...

Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered ...

A new organelle has been discovered in human cells — and scientists call it a "hemifusome."Like the full-size organs in our ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has emerged as a major organizing principle in cells. Recent work showed that multiple components of integrin-mediated focal adhesions, including p130Cas can form ...

Department of Cell Biology, School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MA, United States Directed migration can be broken into three steps: chemical inputs, signal transduction, and ...

In their current project, the team goes one step further: “We constructed cell-sized microcontainers packed with specialized nanocontainers,” explains Palivan. This approach allows the researchers to ...

A research team has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete with artificial organelles. For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate ...

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 ...

Using evolution as a guiding principle, researchers have successfully engineered bacteria-yeast hybrids to perform photosynthetic carbon assimilation, generate cellular energy and support yeast growth ...

This approach uses synthetic biology, such as miniature clusters of lab-grown cells called organoids, to create computer architecture.
