Can a lab-grown SpudCell reproduce like a human cell? In this video, we explore whether a potato-inspired, cell-like system can mimic one of the most fundamental hallmarks of life: cell division and reproduction.
What makes something "alive"? Can a synthetic, lab-grown SpudCell grow, divide, or behave like the cells in our own bodies? By comparing SpudCells with human cells, we'll examine the defining characteristics of living systems, the hallmarks of life, and how scientists are creating cell-like models to better understand biology.
Join us as we investigate the fascinating science behind life, synthetic cells, and how something that looks like a potato could help us unlock the secrets of living cells.
