Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology.
Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

New method maps cell membrane lipids in 3D at nanoscale resolution
A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...
(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.
Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...
Cells are not isolated units; they continuously exchange proteins, genetic material, and even entire organelles with their ...
The Promise of Synthetic CellsSynthetic biology aims to engineer artificial systems that replicate the behavior of living cells. These ...
The upper size limit on cell-penetrating drug molecules may be much higher than medicinal chemists had thought. A research team reports that molecules believed to be much too large to diffuse across ...
image: An MIT-led team designed a sensor that may be deployed to screen patients for hard-to-diagnose cancers, or metastatic tumors. The device draws inspiration from the membrane that surrounds all ...
