Artificial cell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An artificial cell is a minimal cell from artificial parts and is an emerging technology. Until recently, most attempts have generally created only a package that can do many things a cell can do, such as transcribe and translate proteins and generate ATP but not yet a fully operational cell.
The first artificial cell was created by Thomas Chang at McGill University. An artificial cell wall and some of the other parts are made of polymersomes. the hemoglobin is placed in the center.
