It is hoped constructing living artificial cells will help understand the evolutionary transition from non-living to living matter on earth. Additionally, this may also help develop biology-based devices capable of sensing light and driving biochemical reactions. Many synthetic intracellular systems have been reconstructed by assembling molecules, however, the mechanism to self-power themselves has not yet been developed.  Now, a study from researchers at the Tokyo … Continue reading Artificial cells produce their own energy and synthesize themselves.
