In an interview, synthetic biologist Peter Carr explains research on synthetic cells, their potential benefits and hazards, ...

Scientists have created a cell from scratch and believe they can engineer it, which would be a medical phenomenon.

Scientists build a synthetic cell that grows, divides and replicates DNA using only non-living chemical components.

The mechanical process of cell division exerts powerful, if microscopic, forces. How do the molecular machines that power it ...

Before testing new therapies in animals, researchers now have a more efficient starting point—lab-grown canine muscle cells that can help identify what works and what doesn't. Developed at the Texas A ...

A comprehensive investigation by battery researcher Ziroth, involving over 20 independent battery experts, has produced what amounts to definitive proof that Donut Lab’s “miracle” solid-state battery ...

Cells have many important processes and biochemical pathways. But some cells can go rogue, and refuse to obey the rules of these processes. Scientists have now discovered a rogue group of immune cells ...

Scientists in Sweden have taken a major step toward a potential cure for type 1 diabetes by developing a more reliable way to create insulin-producing cells from human stem cells. These lab-grown ...

A startup out of Utah, Paterna Biosciences, says it has successfully grown functional human sperm in a lab and used the sperm to make visibly healthy-looking embryos. The technique could eventually ...

GameSpot may receive revenue from affiliate and advertising partnerships for sharing this content and from purchases through links. A cluster of lab-grown human brain cells has apparently made the ...

Donut Lab has released a second set of independent test results for its controversial solid-state battery — this time proving the cell can discharge at extreme temperatures up to 100°C and actually ...
