Scientists Engineer Synthetic Cells Capable of Growth and Multiplication
Researchers have engineered synthetic cells, dubbed 'SpudCells,' using lab-made DNA and chemicals that mimic core life functions such as feeding, growth, and multiplication. While these cells are not considered fully alive as they require external components, the breakthrough represents a significant step towards understanding life's fundamental processes and potentially creating artificial organisms for various applications.
