Created from 150 components, including lipids, ribosomes, enzymes, and DNA, in the lab. At the core of the design are 36 ...

A prototype cell partly capable of replicating itself has been created using 36 existing bacterial genes, but it's not really ...

Scientists built a synthetic cell that combines more lifelike properties than ever before — proof of concept that it’s possible to bring nonliving materials to life, or something close to it, in the ...

Artificial cells created in the laboratory offer a wide range of potential applications. Until now, however, their membranes—unlike those of real cells—have been virtually impermeable. Researchers at ...

ETH Zurich researchers have investigated how tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ultrasound. For the first time, they have visualized how tiny cyclic microjets ...
