Scientists from the University of Minnesota say they have created the first-ever synthetic cell built entirely from scratch, ...

A prototype cell partly capable of replicating itself has been created using 36 existing bacterial genes, but it's not really a living organism – yet ...

From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.

Their bodies and their genomes were built in the lab from scratch, each molecule specified precisely. According to John Glass ...

While many of life's mysteries remain unsolved, every biologist can describe the basic processes performed by a living organism, including energy use, reproduction, growth and development. While these ...
