Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that feeds, grows and replicates like a natural cell, a ...

A tiny bubble of lipids, enzymes and DNA has done something biologists have chased for years: it carried out a full cycle of ...

The new synthetic cell grows and divides on its own.

For centuries, humanity has wrestled with a profound question: what truly separates non-living matter from actual, breathing ...
