The DNA in a single cup of water can track wildlife, monitor pollution and survey pathogens in waterways and their ...

New research presented at the 42nd Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) ...

Synthetic cell SpudCell, the first built from non-living components by University of Minnesota synthetic biologists Kate ...

A tiny bubble of lipids, enzymes and DNA has done something biologists have chased for years: it carried out a full cycle of ...

Tiny, quivering spheres designed to feed and multiply raise prospect of artificial organisms to make drugs, food and fuel ...

Scientists built a synthetic cell that combines more lifelike properties than ever before — proof of concept that it’s possible to bring nonliving materials to life, or something close to it, in the ...

Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist ...

Interferon receptor knockout chickens uncover how type I and III interferons differentially shape avian antiviral immunity and influenza disease outcomes.

WEE1 functions as a checkpoint gatekeeper; inhibition forces cell-cycle progression despite unrepaired DNA damage, leveraging tumor replication stress and p53/repair deficits to induce mitotic ...

Human skin is constantly rebuilding itself. Every few weeks, the outermost layers shed and are replaced by new cells pushed up from the base. For decades, scientists believed this renewal depended ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a previously unrecognised role for the cancer-associated ...

Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment has been the focus of a 30-year research question. New work from the Crick ...
