If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and ...

Directed evolution in mammalian cells offers a powerful approach for advancing synthetic biology applications. However, existing mammalian-based directed evolution methods face substantial bottlenecks ...

Cancer cells frequently rely on backup mechanisms and alternative, often mutagenic, pathways to repair DNA damage. These adaptations enable cancer cells to survive and proliferate in hostile ...

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 ...

Single-cell analysis helps uncover how the BK virus replicates, opening the door to new drug targets. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. Without a complete ...

It's tricky to make an exact copy of yourself. Or at least it is for cells undergoing mitosis, where cells replicate everything inside of them, including their neatly packaged DNA, then split in half.

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have uncovered a type of immortal cell in laboratory settings, offering unprecedented potential for medical research and treatment. These cells, with their ...
