Bilim insanları, ilk kez sıfırdan bir hücre inşa ederek beslenebilen, büyüyebilen ve tıpkı doğal bir hücre gibi çoğalabilen bir prototip geliştirdi. Minnesota Üniversitesi’nden sentetik biyolog Profesör Kate Adamala ve ekibi, bu karmaşık yapıyı cansız kimyasal bileşenleri tek tek bir araya getirerek oluşturdu.

Abstract Building synthetic versions of biological cells from the bottom up offers an unprecedented opportunity to understand the rules of life and harness cellular capabilities in biotechnology. Whereas substantial progress has been made in recapitulating elementary cell functions, we argue that accelerating the engineering of synthetic cells requires a shift in research practices.

Synthetic cell preservation strategies enable their storage and activation at the point of use Synthetic cells encapsulating cell-free protein synthesis machinery are currently limited to laboratory use due to preservation challenges. They are typically produced and used immediately. We present drying methods for long-term ambient storage that preserve their integrity and functionality, enabling activation at the point-of-use, overcoming key barriers to their deployment in biotechnology.
