Comparison Between a Biological Cell and an Artificial Cell

This template was adapted from the original submission. Edits were made to enhance scientific accuracy, optimal usability and/or to meet industry-leading design standards for science communication. Bottom-up synthetic biology aims to replicate cellular behaviour by building biomimetic structures de novo as depicted in the figure. Although still far from recreating a biological cell, a lot of progress has been made towards this goal. DNA nanotechnology exploits the versatility and programmability of DNA to build functional, nanostructured materials and is one of the techniques that shows great potential in the creation of synthetic organelles for artificial cells.
