  2. Artificial cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_cell

    An artificial cell, synthetic cell or minimal cell is an engineered particle that mimics one or many functions of a biological cell. Often, artificial cells are biological or polymeric membranes which enclose biologically active materials. [ 1 ]

  3. Synthetic biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_biology

    Protocell synthetic biology takes artificial life one step closer to reality by eventually synthesizing not only the genome but also every component of the cell in vitro, as opposed to the synthetic genomics approach, which relies on coercing a natural cell to carry out the instructions encoded by the introduced synthetic genome.

  4. Tissue engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_engineering

    Micro-mass cultures of C3H-10T1/2 cells at varied oxygen tensions stained with Alcian blue. A commonly applied definition of tissue engineering, as stated by Langer [3] and Vacanti, [4] is "an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve [Biological tissue] function or a ...

  5. Artificial life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_life

    Artificial life (ALife or A-Life) is a field of study wherein researchers examine systems related to natural life, its processes, and its evolution, through the use of simulations with computer models, robotics, and biochemistry. [1]

  6. Human cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_cloning

    iPSCs and cells created by SCNT are useful for research into the causes of disease, and as model systems used in drug discovery. [23] [24] Cells produced with SCNT, or iPSCs could eventually be used in stem cell therapy, [25] or to create organs to be used in transplantation, known as regenerative medicine. Stem cell therapy is the use of stem ...

  7. Cell biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_biology

    Cell biology (also cellular biology or cytology) is a branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells. [1] [2] All living organisms are made of cells. A cell is the basic unit of life that is responsible for the living and functioning of organisms. [3] Cell biology is the study of the structural and functional ...

    Cell encapsulation is a ... Several groups have extensively studied several natural and synthetic polymers with the goal of developing the most suitable biomaterial ...

  9. Xenobiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenobiology

    Xenobiology (XB) is a subfield of synthetic biology, the study of synthesizing and manipulating biological devices and systems. [1] The name "xenobiology" derives from the Greek word xenos, which means "stranger, alien".
