Key market opportunities in the global competent cells market include rising demands in genetic engineering and synthetic ...

Randomness inside cells can decide whether a cancer returns after chemotherapy or whether an infection survives antibiotics.

Treating inflammatory or autoimmune disorders in which the immune system overreacts and starts attacking the body can involve shutting down the whole immune system, and this may increase the risk of ...

Cancer therapy and synthetic biology are converging around a shared problem that has long frustrated oncologists and ...

Schematic of synthetic protocells: Upon activation with a light pulse, synthetic cell organelles release substance A. The substance enters the receiver protocell and its synthetic organelle containing ...

Synthetic lethality may help overcome cancer therapeutic resistance by exploiting tumour vulnerabilities, supported by ...

A synthetic cell that can be activated by a magnetic field to release a medicine whilst deep in the body has been created by chemists at UCL (University College London) and the University of Oxford.

Cells constantly shift and transform, triggering the complex choreography that shapes living organisms. Whether dividing into new cells or sculpting an embryo, these tiny movements rely on chemical ...

Chemists have created a synthetic cell that can be activated by a magnetic field to release a medicine whilst deep in the body. Synthetic cells are non-living mimics of real cells. They have a fatty ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...
