The surprising discovery of mysterious blobs inside our cells is revolutionising our understanding of how life works, and how ...

(Nanowerk News) By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of ...

For the first time, researchers have simulated the full workings of a bacterial cell as it copies its DNA and divides into two. The experiment could help researchers to understand how the interactions ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...
