    Polish researcher's team first to build synthetic cell from scratch

    A team of scientists from the University of Minnesota, led by Polish researcher Katarzyna (Kate) Adamala, has created a synthetic cell capable of taking in nutrients, growing and dividing using only non-living components. The achievement, reported by Science, marks the most advanced step so far towards building a synthetic equivalent of a living cell from scratch.
