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

From chemical building blocks, scientists have created synthetic cells that have most of the hallmarks of life.

This cell-like structure can grow, feed, divide and compete. Researchers ponder what it means for the future of synthetic ...

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 ...

What if the mechanical properties of a cell could be programmed like the components of a machine? Researchers at the ...

While many of life's mysteries remain unsolved, every biologist can describe the basic processes performed by a living organism, including energy use, reproduction, growth and development. While these ...

Energy storage usually brings to mind batteries, capacitors, tanks of hydrogen, or maybe some giant gravity system hauling ...

The human-made cells show many hallmarks of life, but they can't make all their necessary internal structures or divide for ...
