Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

A new synthetic compound derived from flaxseed, a whole grain with antioxidant properties, can improve heart function in mice with sepsis, a study published in the Journal of Molecular and Cellular ...

Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology.

Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing ...

The human body can be thought of as a complex chemical factory with different processes occurring simultaneously at the microscopic level. Scientists have long been fascinated with such processes as ...

There has been an explosion in the number of genetic medicines, including, cell & gene therapies in clinical development. These therapies contain thousands to billions more atoms than small molecules ...

In a feat aimed at understanding how cells move and creating new ways to shuttle drugs through the body, scientists say they have built a minimal synthetic cell that follows an external chemical cue ...

Researchers synthesize enzymes to learn more about a signaling protein involved in the development of muscle, bone and blood in vertebrate embryos. A team of bioengineers at the University of Texas at ...
