California is banning them in schools. The FDA says they’re fine. But synthetic dyes added to food to make them more colorful have a long, troubled history.

The National University of Singapore (NUS) will be taking a significant leap forward in synthetic biology, leveraging its ...

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 ...

Scientists are designing simplified biological systems, aiming to construct synthetic cells and better understand life’s ...

One of the greatest questions of science centers on how life seemingly ... recreated the nutrient transport process in a synthetic cell, which is crucial to the function of the cell and only ...

A research team has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete with artificial organelles. For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate natural ...

Researchers from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and the University of Rome Tor Vergata in Italy have developed ...

"We had the idea of recreating in the lab similar gene cascades that, depending on the timing of gene activation, could induce the formation, or the disassembly, of synthetic materials," said ...

Recently, a collaborative research team led by Professor Li Jiayang from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Science established a new synthetic ...
