Scientists create first artificial cell that moves on its own by chemical reactions
SMRTR summary
Scientists created the first artificial cell capable of autonomous movement, using only a lipid membrane, an enzyme, and a pore. This minimal system demonstrates chemotaxis—moving along chemical gradients—without complex biological machinery. The breakthrough provides insights into early life evolution and could lead to applications in drug delivery and environmental sensing.
