Asgard archaea may have led to the evolution of eukaryotic life ETH Zurich researchers identify actin and microtubule ...

Cell-free systems, which can express an easily detectable protein with a DNA or mRNA template without constraints of living ...

Genetic switches could play a role in creating complex eukaryotic genetic circuits for programmed cell-free systems or artificial cells.

We created novel artificial cells by encapsulating a riboswitch-gene fusion with wheat germ extract in liposomes. These non-living cells promoted the expression of a glowing protein encoded in the ...

Asgard archaea emerged as a key piece in the puzzle of how complex life evolved, acting as a potential link between simple archaea and eukaryotes—organisms like plants and animals whose cells contain ...

A study focusing on analyzing cell models found universality in their movement—an important discovery that could impact both ...

This important study provides solid evidence that glucosylceramide synthase (GlcT), a rate-limiting enzyme for glycosphingolipid (GSL) production, plays a role in the differentiation of intestinal ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Transgenic animals continue to play an essential role in many aspects of zebrafish research, including the development of disease models. The most widely used system for zebrafish transgenesis is the ...

Precision Biosciences' ARCUS platform offers high precision and versatility, supporting in vivo gene editing therapies, and ...
