Nature is beautiful, powerful and essential. But nature is not always gentle. The same biological world that gives rise to ...
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 ...
This cell-like structure can grow, feed, divide and compete. Researchers ponder what it means for the future of synthetic ...
After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres—the protective caps at the chromosome ends—those caps eventually become too short to ...
This past year, we explored a lot of new cell biology research—from cancer to plants to microbes, and more! It’s hard to believe what can fit in a year. Yet as we say goodbye to 2025, we want to take ...
Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that feeds, grows and replicates like a natural cell, a ...
The airwaves are crackling this week with news of the first synthetic cell, constructed and cultured by researchers from the ...

‘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 ...
