NIST researcher Elizabeth Strychalski’s research group is helping to establish the measurements and standards needed for progress in engineering biology, also known as synthetic biology.

In two recently published papers, scientists successfully recreated the mitochondria (in a simple form) and biochemical nutrient transport throughout a synthetic cell. While these are only two of ...

Recently, scientists harnessed these movements using beams of light to control cellular behavior, taking a big step toward creating programmable synthetic cells. Every living thing—from bacteria ...

Researchers have harnessed synthetic biology to engineer chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells that precisely target and destroy cancer. However, these powerful cells can also attack healthy tissues ...

Scientists have created synthetic yeast that converts human urine into a valuable bone implant material, while also reducing ...

For the first time, a research team has succeeded in emulating natural cell communication using synthetic cells. A team of researchers led by Professor Cornelia Palivan from the University of ...

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

Enduro Genetics has developed genetic plugins featuring biosensors and promoters that can detect and regulate mAb production levels in cells.
