Scientists Create “SpudCells”

A fascinating look at how researchers are building cell-like structures from scratch — and what it could mean for the future of biology, medicine, and our understanding of life itself.

The New York Times has published an excellent interactive feature exploring the creation of “SpudCells,” synthetic cell-like structures that can perform some of the functions associated with living cells. It’s a remarkable look at where science is headed and one of the more thought-provoking articles I’ve read this week.
