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 ...
A video of SpudCell - a synthetic cell assembled entirely from non-living chemical components - containing both a genome and the metabolic machinery to read it. The red membrane is stained with lipid ...
University of Minnesota researchers say "SpudCell" is the most life-like synthetic cell yet, able to grow, divide and pass ...
The human-made cells show many hallmarks of life, but they can't make all their necessary internal structures or divide for that many generations ...
No one has yet created a fully functioning artificial cell. But a research team at Aarhus University has taken a step in that direction: They have equipped artificial cells with tiny motors inspired ...
In this case, the gene encoding T7 RNA polymerase was added to the SpudCell genome, and it was made by those artificial cells. The last element needed here is the translation of RNAs into proteins.
Actin polymerizing motors were encapsulated in the lumen of an artificial cell, where they exhibited motion and actively generated actin filament. (Image: Miguel A. Ramos Docampo, Aarhus University) ...
What if the mechanical properties of a cell could be programmed like the components of a machine? Researchers at the University of Tokyo have discovered that two fundamental modes of cellular ...
You don’t want the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes inside your cells — it can make you seriously ill. Now, researchers at Aarhus University have used its unique mode of movement as inspiration to ...
