These synthetic cell-like vesicles helped scientists explore the mysteries of our biological clock.

UC Merced researchers have built artificial cells that keep time like living organisms

Researchers at UC Merced have successfully built tiny artificial cells that can keep time, mimicking the natural 24-hour cycles found in living organisms These artificial cells create new ways to study the internal clocks that regulate essential biological processes such as sleep and metabolism. The breakthrough was recently published in Nature Communications and was led by Professors Anand Bala Subramaniam (bioengineering) and Andy LiWang (chem…
