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 ...

Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) What kinds of ...

Ion channels generate electrical impulses produced by living cells. Synthetic ion channels could serve as tools for ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of chromosomes inside individual cells ...

Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have ...

A new method developed by scientists could soon make liver disease treatment easier and more effective—without a transplant.

Inflammation represents a long-conserved biological process characterized by the release of chemical messengers that regulate the immune response. When the body faces an injury or infection, the ...

After centuries of mapping the human body in ever-finer detail, scientists are still making discoveries. Here we are, in 2025, and a previously unknown cellular structure that could be vital to our ...
