Kirill Alexandrov Artificial intelligence–designed “smart” proteins can be programmed to turn on when they detect a certain ...

A new synthetic compound derived from flaxseed, a whole grain with antioxidant properties, can improve heart function in mice with sepsis, a study published in the Journal of Molecular and Cellular ...

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 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 ...

Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology. These models, known as synthetic or biomimetic cells, allow some of the basic ...

Researchers at Gifu University’s Institute for Glyco-core Research have developed two synthetic approaches to produce a fragment of a molecule called poly(ADP-ribose). By developing two ways to ...

Researchers synthesize enzymes to learn more about a signaling protein involved in the development of muscle, bone and blood in vertebrate embryos. A team of bioengineers at the University of Texas at ...

In a feat aimed at understanding how cells move and creating new ways to shuttle drugs through the body, scientists say they have built a minimal synthetic cell that follows an external chemical cue ...

Scientists have developed a synthetic tissue that repairs injuries and restores normal erectile function in a pig model, in a study publishing January 4 in the journal Matter. The findings suggest ...
