They Created a Cell That’s Almost Alive. What to Do With It Now?
SpudCells may one day produce new medicines and materials. But first scientists have to improve them — and make sure they aren’t misused.
Have Scientists Built a Cell from Scratch?
According to recent news headlines, the curiously named SpudCell can feed, grow, reproduce, and undergo selection.
Did scientists just create synthetic life?
The SpudCell certainly resembles a living cell, but a key structure inside the cell falls short of the real thing
The SpudCell: Could some 'blobs' in a dish spark the 'Sputnik' moment for synthetic life?
