Mimicking Living Cells: Synthesizing Ribosomes
June 29, 2013 — Synthetic biology researchers have for the first time synthesized ribosomes from scratch in a test tube. The researchers took an approach different from their predecessors: they mimicked the natural ... > full story -
Targeted Viral Therapy Destroys Breast Cancer Stem Cells in Preclinical Experiments
June 24, 2013 — A promising new treatment for breast cancer has been shown in cell culture and in animal models to selectively kill cancer stem cells at the original tumor site and in distant metastases with no ... > full story -
Programming Blood Forming Stem Cells
June 13, 2013 — By transferring four genes into mouse fibroblast cells, researchers have produced cells that resemble hematopoietic stem cells, which produce millions of new blood cells in the human body every day. ... > full story -

Fractal Patterns Spontaneously Emerge During Bacterial Cell Growth
June 11, 2013 — Despite bacterial colonies always forming circular shapes as they grow, their cells form internal divisions which are highly asymmetrical and branched. These fractal (self-similar) patterns are due ... > full story -
Common Genetic Disease Linked to Father's Age
June 7, 2013 — Scientists have unlocked the mystery of why new cases of the genetic disease Noonan syndrome are so common; a mutation that causes the disease disproportionately increases a normal father's ... > full story -
New Gene That Is Essential for Nuclear Reprogramming
June 5, 2013 — Researchers are still fascinated by the idea of reprogramming the cells of any tissue, turning them into cells with the capacity to differentiate into cells of a completely different type -- ... > full story -
