An ancient and enormous organism called Prototaxites, initially found to be a type of fungus, may actually be an unknown ...

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

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 ...

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

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a serious public health threat. Understanding the biology of these bacteria--such as how they synthesise their protective capsules--is essential for developing new ...

Cell growth usually refers to cell proliferation, the increase in cell numbers that occurs through repeated cell division. Cell growth can also refer to the enlargement of cell volume, which can ...

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 ...

Scientists at Goethe University uncover how the oldest enzyme in cellular respiration functions – opening the door to ...

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton ...

The ISC Class 12 Biology exam is a crucial milestone for students aiming to score well and secure admission to top ...

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