Texas A&M researchers found a way to make stem cells produce double the normal number of mitochondria using nanoflower particles. These energized stem cells then transfer their surplus “power packs” ...

Researchers have developed a way to program human cells to perform calculations and make autonomous decisions, similar to how computer chips work. In a new study published in Nature Communications, Ph ...

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that can feed, grow and replicate like a natural cell. This breakthrough in synthetic biology could usher in an era of ...

How does a single cell build a brain with billions of precisely organized neurons? Researchers suggest that brain cells use their lineage—their cellular family tree—as a kind of positional map. Cells ...

From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology. By K. R. Callaway SpudCell is a synthetic cell made by scientists at the ...

AI data centers are increasingly bypassing congested electricity grids by installing on-site fuel cells for reliable power. Rystad Energy expects fuel cell revenues to grow from roughly $2.8 billion ...

Scientists at the University of Minnesota say they have built the most life-like synthetic cell yet, creating a laboratory-made system assembled entirely from nonliving components that can grow, ...

For the very first time, biologists packed nonliving components into a cell-like membrane, piece by piece, and witnessed the bag of molecules start to behave like life. The lab-made synthetic cell ...

Knights of science have long chased a biologic holy grail: transforming a soup of raw chemicals into self-sustaining life. Now, a team led by synthetic biologist Kate Adamala, of the University of ...

A landmark study due to start in the coming months aims to test a method for rejuvenating our immune system in older age. The Phase 1 trial will target senescent T cells, which accumulate as we age or ...
