While these are not artificial life forms created entirely from scratch, the work demonstrates an unprecedented level of control over the genetic software that powers living cells — and could reshape ...

The SpudCell certainly resembles a living cell, but a key structure inside the cell falls short of the real thing ...

A synthetic cell equipped with the abilities to grow, replicate and divide has been created. A mutant with an exceptional ability to absorb nutrients left more offspring, implementing even the process ...
