From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.
Getting it over the finish line was a labor of love—and now, more than five years after her death, the lab of former Sloan Kettering Institute Developmental Biology Chair Kathryn Anderson, Ph.D., is publishing its final study.
Learn how SpudCell, a synthetic cell built from chemical parts, can grow, divide, copy its DNA, and bring life-like behavior closer to engineering.
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 mechanical process of cell division exerts powerful, if microscopic, forces. How do the molecular machines that power it manage the strain?
Scientists have created the world’s first man-made cell that can eat, grow and reproduce. Called SpudCell, it is the work of Kate Adamala and her team of researchers at the University of Minnesota. This creation gives scientists a better understanding of the origins of life,
Allison McClure, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the CU School of Medicine. She is focused on learning all about how cells replicate, or make copies of themselves. McClure and her research team ...
