In consumer research, the term "synthetic panels" is gaining traction. While research companies view them skeptically, many marketers are attracted by their speed and cost-effectiveness.

Instead, it’s a “mirror” of our biology—a completely synthetic form of life built from molecules that twist in opposite ...

Scientists have already been able to synthesize large mirror biomolecules, including nucleic acids and proteins. At the same time, researchers are making progress in creating cells completely from ...

The team concludes that synthetic biology research should avoid creating mirror bacteria until we better understand the risks. However, restrictions on this work should also be carefully evaluated ...

A category of synthetic organisms dubbed “mirror life,” whose component molecules are mirror images of their natural counterpart, could pose unprecedented risks to human life and ecosystems ...

Some of the authors have concluded the threat is substantial in part because of their research developing nonliving mirror image biomolecules. These synthetic structures could be effective stealth ...
