By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell - from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division - scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into ...

Researchers in Sweden have engineered a cell-free cartilage scaffold that can guide the body to rebuild damaged bone. By removing the cells but preserving the structure and natural growth signals, the ...

Scientists have engineered a lab-on-a-chip system capable of applying precisely controlled mechanical forces to biological materials that mimic the extracellular matrix.

Officials in one of Oregon’s smallest cities say it needs to sell its historic City Hall virtually overnight or risk becoming the ghost town it’s long claimed to be. The Shaniko City Council held an ...

Our single-celled ancestor lived in a world without plants, animals or oxygen-rich oceans. Yet, this seemingly simple microorganism took the first steps toward complex life. From this ancestor emerged ...

Inspired by how bones heal naturally, researchers have engineered a laser-structured hydrogel that could one day replace ...

Some bacteria can take a punch that would crush a submarine. In a new set of impact tests, one desert microbe, Deinococcus ...

Optical trapping is a powerful tool for manipulating microscopic particles, but conventional approaches often suffer from ...

This article examines how cultivated fat has the potential to bridge the gap between plant-based analogs and authentic animal tissue.

The initial 'seed' for the hair follicle begins with epithelial stem cells (which make the hair itself) and dermal papilla ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquifies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows.
