For sexual reproduction to yield healthy offspring, newly generated oocytes—immature egg cells—must receive the correct amount of DNA after cell division. This process of segregating chromosomes ...

Researchers have created the simplest artificial cell ever—just a membrane, an enzyme, and a mission. In a breakthrough that strips life down to its most basic rules, scientists at the Institute for ...

A team of UC Merced researchers has shown that tiny artificial cells can accurately keep time, mimicking the daily rhythms found in living organisms. Their findings shed light on how biological clocks ...

The cell membrane, which contains a hydrophilic exterior and a hydrophobic interior, opens and closes ion channels like a water faucet and converts a physicochemical stimulus into an electrical signal ...

Researchers develop a safer and more precise chemical method for designing artificial environments that support cell growth and tissue engineering. Yet, many hydrogel systems rely on chemical ...
