Artificial cell division accomplished
Researchers from the University of Minnesota have achieved a scientific breakthrough that is unprecedented: they have developed the first artificial cell capable of completing a nearly full life cycle, including growth, DNA replication, and division to produce a new generation. This cell, dubbed the "Spud Cell," relies on non-living chemical components such as liposomes and synthetic DNA. It operates within a medium rich in energy molecules and draws the necessary enzymes and genetic instructions to replicate its genetic material and divide. This milestone marks a historic step toward creating living systems from inanimate components and opens new horizons for the development of biological materials for medical, nutritional, and energy applications.
