(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 ...
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 ...
Biologists would love to know exactly what happens inside a cell, but measuring every cellular process simultaneously is impossible. That’s why they turn to simulations, like this one, which tracks ...
