my features published in @CurrentBiology this year, issue 16: To me it's a stupid idea to "create" any kind of life form (cells, humans). All we need to do is to find the spot where chemicals start to evolve. #Evolution will do the rest. Thus, #artificialCells bad, #RNAworld good.

Scientists have created the first artificial cells that can chemically navigate their environment—mimicking life’s basic instincts in the lab. A breakthrough in synthetic biology with big implications. #ArtificialCells #SyntheticBiology #Innovation https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/first-artificial-cell-chemical-navigation

Creating A Simplified Form Of Life - Astrobiology

Key Points:
➡️ Bert Poolman is working on creating synthetic cells to understand life.
➡️ His team simplified energy conversion in cells using only five components.
➡️ They also developed a system to concentrate and convert nutrients.
➡️ The BaSyc consortium aims to create life from non-living modules.
