In synthetic biology, researchers try to recreate crucial mechanisms of life in vitro, such as cell division. The aim is to be able to synthesize minimal cells. The research team led by Professor Kerstin Göpfrich from Heidelberg University has now synthetically reproduced contractile rings for cell division using polymer rings composed of DNA nanotubes.

To this end, they devised special methods for simulating the DNA rings on a realistic scale. Theory and the simulation make it possible to explain quantitatively how the polymer rings form and contract.

Mechanisms for cell division are an important step towards an artificial cell, the construction of which facilitates a better understanding of the functional mechanisms of natural cells and, thus, of the foundations of life.

wow! Thank you for this information, I had no idea how involved this process is.



powwpoww This is top level stuff, DNA editing in a broad range of fields.
low-key this is some elite stuff to evolve humans in the eye of mankind, rather than the creator.

Also it's not shocking this stuff is being done at the University of California San Diego.

It's happening and also not happening all over the world

Therefore, the gene editing of the embryo for non-reproduction purposes is allowed in at least 11 countries, including China, United States, and UK. Nineteen countries, including Belarus, Canada, Sweden, and Switzerland have banned gene editing trials on human embryo.

RoslinCT, the CDMO arm of the Roslin Institute—which famously cloned Dolly the Sheep back in 1996—is set to manufacture Vertex and CRISPR Therapeutics’ exa-cel “across the world” as part of Vertex’s global production network

just make cloning legal already thanks, so we can use spare parts from our clones to save the original.
