A team led by Kate Adamala at the University of Minnesota has built a completely new cell, SpudCell, from non-living chemical components. It can grow, divide, and evolve—a milestone breakthrough in synthetic biology.
Scientists at the University of Minnesota have created SpudCells, synthetic cells that feed, grow, reproduce, and compete, marking a major advance in synthetic biology. The work is described in a 190-page preprint under journal review.
