Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology.

Cells are the basic building blocks of all living organisms. In a healthy body, cells follow an orderly life cycle: they develop from a systematic process called mitosis, perform important ...

The Promise of Synthetic CellsSynthetic biology aims to engineer artificial systems that replicate the behavior of living cells. These ...

Tumors can develop anywhere cells are present (i.e., essentially anywhere in the body), and they are classified as benign or ...

Researchers introduces an innovative chemical strategy to create biomimetic structures with greater efficiency.

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...
