A new RNA-based method creates programmable artificial organelles inside living cells, enabling customizable compartments for ...

Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing bottleneck in artificial cell design. The system, based on coacervate ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic material that determines nearly every aspect of their functioning. This ...

Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny ...

Like workers at a factory or office, proteins in a cell must be in the right department to do their jobs. But scientists have yet to fully map the cell’s organization, much less determine how these ...

Synthetic biology aims to engineer artificial systems that replicate the behavior of living cells. These synthetic or biomimetic cells serve as simplified models to study basic biological processes ...
