Scientists construct synthetic cell from nonliving chemical components that can feed, grow, and replicate
By
Katie Hunt
Summary
Scientists at the University of Minnesota, led by synthetic biologist Kate Adamala, have constructed a synthetic cell from nonliving chemical components that can feed, grow, and replicate like a natural cell. This breakthrough in synthetic biology represents a significant step toward creating made-to-order organisms that function as living machines, though the current prototype is described as limited and fragile.
