From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.
A prototype cell partly capable of replicating itself has been created using 36 existing bacterial genes, but it's not really a living organism – yet ...
Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that feeds, grows and replicates like a natural cell, a breakthrough in synthetic biology.
Scientists built a synthetic cell that combines more lifelike properties than ever before — proof of concept that it’s possible to bring nonliving materials to life, or something close to it, in the ...
A group of University of Minnesota researchers have just effectively created something like life. It’s an artificial cell named after a potato. “This is likely the most exciting project I’ve ever ...
