More work needs to be done to create viable human embryos, but the method might someday be used in IVF to help infertile people and male couples.

To study pattern formation, researchers used a method called the landscape-flux framework — which can be extended to other ...

An artificial cell membrane with machinery for cell division is a key step towards building a synthetic cell from the bottom-up with the ability to replicate itself. Synthetic cell membranes now being ...
