Chinese Academy of Sciences: World’s First Realization of Asymmetric Division in Artificial Cells (May 13, 2026, Nature)Chinese Academy of Sciences: World’s First Realization of Asymmetric Division in Artificial Cells (May 13, 2026, Nature) Teams led by Qiao Yan and Wang Shu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences constructed an artificial‑cell model to simulate the asymmetric division of natural cells: one mother cell divides into two daughter artificial cells with completely distinct morphologies and functions. This achievement helps elucidate the origin of cell differentiation in primitive life and advances the development of synthetic cells and biomanufacturing. |
