Scientists have created SpudCell, a synthetic cell assembled entirely from non-living materials that can grow, copy DNA and divide. This discovery took 10 years in making by team of scientists from University of Minesota.
The team simulated a living cell at nanoscale resolution and recapitulated how every molecule within that cell behaved over the course of a full cell cycle. The work took many years: vast computer resources, large experimental datasets, a suite of ...
