A team at the Center for Research in Biological Chemistry and Molecular Materials (CiQUS) at the University of Santiago de Compostela has developed a more flexible chemical strategy to create ...

Northwestern University researchers have taken a step toward bridging electronics and the human brain ...

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

Researchers have successfully built the simplest artificial cell ever that can navigate using chemicals, much like living cells do. Chemotaxis is the essential navigation system cells use to find ...

For stem cells to differentiate into the appropriate cell-type, transcription factors (TFs) must be tailored to highly specific expression patterns of lineage-specific genes. Abnormalities in the ...

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

The shape and morphology of a cell play a key role in the biological function. This corresponds to the principle of "form follows function," which is common in modern fields of design and architecture ...

Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called 'segmentation' and it enables a range of applications, ...

Cell culture is a fundamental technique in biotechnology and life sciences that involves growing and maintaining living cells outside their natural environment, typically in a controlled laboratory ...
