Scientists at the University of Minnesota say they have built a synthetic cell that can feed, grow, copy its DNA and divide.

An international research team has recovered ancient human mitochondrial and nuclear DNA directly from cave wall materials in ...

While SpudCell is an important milestone in the field, it stops short of being a fully synthetic living cell.

A tiny bubble of lipids, enzymes and DNA has done something biologists have chased for years: it carried out a full cycle of life-like behavior without starting from a living cell. The system, called ...
