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

SpudCell is a new cell-like platform that can feed, grow and divide like a normal cell — but it's not yet a perfect ...

From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.

Researchers have identified a new cell death process called 'karyoptosis'. This process involves harmful proteins building up ...

Nature is beautiful, powerful and essential. But nature is not always gentle. The same biological world that gives rise to ...

While many of life's mysteries remain unsolved, every biologist can describe the basic processes performed by a living organism, including energy use, reproduction, growth and development. While these ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...

The body's cells respond to stress -- toxins, mutations, starvation or other assaults -- by pausing normal functions to focus on conserving energy, repairing damaged components and boosting defenses.

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought. The ...
