‘Almost alive’: Scientists built an artificial cell-like blob from scratch. It eats, grows, and divides
A tiny blob in a dish has pushed one of biology’s oldest questions into new territory: When does inanimate chemistry become ...
This cell-like structure can grow, feed, divide and compete. Researchers ponder what it means for the future of synthetic ...
A prototype cell partly capable of replicating itself has been created using 36 existing bacterial genes, but it's not really ...
From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.
Living systems rely on molecules fitting together precisely. A key concept is chirality – many biological building blocks come in mirror-image forms, like left and right hands. Life on Earth mostly ...
