If you were an astronaut nursing a monster headache en route to Mars, and the painkillers had run out 20 million miles back, you’d want a supply of synthetic cells handy to crank out some fresh pills. That’s the kind of future College of Biological Sciences researcher Kate Adamala is out to build. She belongs to a...

Scientists pioneer creation of programmable artificial tissues from synthetic cells
Scientists have created new artificial tissues that mimic some of the complex characteristics and abilities of living tissues, paving the way towards unprecedented advances in medicine, soft-robotics, and micro-engineering. The University of Bristol-led breakthrough, published in Advanced Materials, reports the first way to produce centimetre-sized artificial tissues of any shape and with complex internal structures.
