Scientists have created a cell from scratch and believe they can engineer it, which would be a medical phenomenon.

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

Scientists have created the most advanced synthetic cell yet made in a laboratory. They've dubbed it "Spudcell," echoing Sputnik, the first artificial satellite.

Scientists build a synthetic cell that grows, divides and replicates DNA using only non-living chemical components.

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

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 ...

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

The mechanical process of cell division exerts powerful, if microscopic, forces. How do the molecular machines that power it ...
