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 ...

The much-heralded Human Genome Project was a huge milestone for science, but most of that genetic blueprint came from one man from Buffalo, N.Y. On Wednesday, May 10, 2023, scientists announced they ...

A time-delay circuit enables precise control over the division of synthetic DNA droplets, which mimic biological Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets found in cells. By utilizing a ...

Molecular instructions in living cells can be timed rather like the notes or chords in a piece of music. For example, a finite number of genes can be activated and expressed in different orders, for ...

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.

In January, Aldevron unveiled its Alchemy cell-free DNA technology. Instead of using cells to produce DNA, Alchemy relies on enzymes to produce linear DNA that serves as a template for the synthesis ...

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 ...

An expanded synthetic biology platform enables the assembly of long, high-complexity DNA sequences, reducing technical barriers and supporting next-generation research in medicine, vaccines, and ...
