What do you call an organism with no evolutionary ancestors? SpudCell, apparently ...

The human-made cells show many hallmarks of life, but they can't make all their necessary internal structures or divide for ...

This cell-like structure can grow, feed, divide and compete. Researchers ponder what it means for the future of synthetic ...

A prototype cell partly capable of replicating itself has been created using 36 existing bacterial genes, but it's not really ...

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

In a new study published in Science titled, “Mitochondrial metabolism and signaling direct dendritic cell function in antitumor immunity,” researchers from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have ...

The study, “Integration of phospho-signaling and transcriptomics in single cells reveals distinct Th17 cell fates,” was published in Cell Reports. In the study, first author Seth Fortmann, M.D., Ph.D.

When people think about health, they often focus on specific organs like the heart or brain. But many changes related to chronic conditions or ageing begin in the smallest units of your body — your ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered how to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells in mice by correcting defects in the stem cell's lysosomes. The breakthrough ...

From electronic health records and blood tests to the stream of data from wearable devices, the amount of health information people generate is accelerating rapidly. Yet, many users struggle to ...
