Knights of science have long chased a biologic holy grail: transforming a soup of raw chemicals into self-sustaining life. Now, a team led by synthetic biologist Kate Adamala, of the University of ...

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that can feed, grow and replicate like a natural cell. This breakthrough in synthetic biology could usher in an era of ...

For the very first time, biologists packed nonliving components into a cell-like membrane, piece by piece, and witnessed the bag of molecules start to behave like life. The lab-made synthetic cell ...

Scientists have long dreamed of discovering the alchemy by which chemicals can be turned into life. On Wednesday, a team at the University of Minnesota announced that it had taken a major step toward ...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (aHSCT), pursued for decades as a potential cure for multiple sclerosis (MS), is associated in the modern era with a high potential for ...

Brain cells that help make us human are also uniquely vulnerable to multiple sclerosis. A newfound cellular repair kit can’t keep up with the disease’s damage, leading to the cell death that’s a ...

Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer in adults. It starts in the white blood cells that are responsible for creating antibodies that help the body fight infections. Once the myeloma ...

Grace Miller was a 24-year-old law school student when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. For years prior, she’d had severe fatigue, which a neurologist initially suspected was caused by ...

Gilead Sciences is expanding its cell therapy pipeline and technological capabilities through the $7.8 billion acquisition of Arcellx, its partner in the development of a multiple myeloma treatment ...

Let’s say it’s 2036, and scientists are working on a new class of drugs. These medications are mirror-image versions of the molecules your body uses to fight disease. Their big advantage is that ...

A new study maps the immune cell landscape of bone marrow in patients with multiple myeloma, a rare cancer that develops in the plasma cells of the bone marrow and has no cure. This large immune cell ...

A map of the immune cell landscape found in the bone marrow of patients with multiple myeloma could shed light on how the immune system interacts with cancerous plasma cells. It could also help ...
