The team led by Gabe Kwong found they could mark tumors using a synthetic antigen delivered with the same mRNA technology that won the Nobel Prize. Then they used CAR T cell therapy to train the ...

Researchers at Harvard University have created polymer-based, cell-like structures capable of self-reproducing—one of the most fundamental characteristics of life. The system does not use any of ...

Dermatologists are prescribing algae skincare that repairs damaged skin at cellular level. Why marine extracts beat synthetic ...

Developmental and synthetic biologist Michael Levin redefines what life really is, how intelligence works, and what the ...

Synthetic receptors enable cells to sense intracellular or extracellular signals and produce customized outputs. A new technique leverages RNA editing to engineer post-transcriptional receptors ...

Cells are regarded as the basic building blocks of life. The smallest entity generally considered to be living is a single cell, and all life forms are either uni- or multicellular organisms.

In a world-first breakthrough, researchers have used an epilepsy-like disease model in a laboratory dish and showed that ...

Microscale 3D printed arches guide cells to form natural self-bonds, improving how soft tissue attaches to medical implants ...

The researchers designed a non-biochemical system in which synthetic cell-like structures form and self-reproduce by ejecting polymeric spores. The PNAS paper reports a one-pot reaction in which ...
