Cells constantly shift and transform, triggering the complex choreography that shapes living organisms. Whether dividing into new cells or sculpting an embryo, these tiny movements rely on chemical ...

A synthetic cell that can be activated by a magnetic field to release a medicine whilst deep in the body has been created by chemists at UCL (University College London) and the University of Oxford.

Cells use phase separation to organize their inner environment, creating compartments for essential biochemical reactions without the use of membranes. Tian's team realized that by engineering similar ...

Chemists have created a synthetic cell that can be activated by a magnetic field to release a medicine whilst deep in the body. Synthetic cells are non-living mimics of real cells. They have a fatty ...

As we stand on the precipice of a scientific revolution, researchers are pushing the boundaries of biology by developing synthetic cells from non-living components. This groundbreaking work could ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...
