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

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that feeds, grows and replicates like a natural cell, a ...

The problem of cell type became clear to genome biologist Jason Buenrostro in 2013. He was studying a cell line derived from someone with cancer, trying to map out how the DNA was arranged in the ...

Scientists have created SpudCell, a synthetic cell assembled entirely from non-living materials that can grow, copy DNA and ...

Whether it’s counting red blood cells under a light microscope or recording bursts of electricity as neurons fire, scientists spend a lot of time studying cells. With such a diversity in form and ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...

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 ...
