University of Minnesota researchers created a synthetic cell that grows, divides, and evolves, challenging traditional views on life's origins.

Scientists at the University of Minnesota have engineered "SpudCell," a lab-made entity from lifeless chemicals that mimics key life processes like eating, growing, and dividing.…

Scientists have built a cell from scratch for the first time

Synthetic Cells to Sell Synthetic Biology: Researchers claim a major breakthrough with the first human-made cell. But is it “alive?”

Scientists built SpudCell, the first synthetic cell that grows, divides and evolves, entirely from non-living chemicals. They still won't call it alive.

This week, researchers at the University of Minnesota announced something that genuinely stopped me...
