By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...
A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...
The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...
To model bacterial life, Thornburg and his colleagues turned to one of its simplest examples: a bacterial cell with a ...
A peer-reviewed study published in Cell in March 2026 introduces “optovolution,” an in vivo directed-evolution system that uses light to breed proteins capable of switching between active and inactive ...
The induction of the cell cycle in cardiomyocytes involves the activation of specific genes that are responsible for regulating cell division and growth. Our laboratory has discovered several ...
The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...
