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 ...

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 ...

From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.

In this case, the gene encoding T7 RNA polymerase was added to the SpudCell genome, and it was made by those artificial cells ...
