The lab-made cell can grow, copy its DNA, and divide but cannot survive independently or be considered fully alive, ...

What do you call an organism with no evolutionary ancestors? SpudCell, apparently ...

Getting it over the finish line was a labor of love—and now, more than five years after her death, the lab of former Sloan ...

The human-made cells show many hallmarks of life, but they can't make all their necessary internal structures or divide for ...

In this case, the gene encoding T7 RNA polymerase was added to the SpudCell genome, and it was made by those artificial cells ...

This cell-like structure can grow, feed, divide and compete. Researchers ponder what it means for the future of synthetic ...

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 ...
