DNA programs a cell-free material to build its own motors and move
Researchers have created a material that manufactures the proteins responsible for cell movement, without needing intact living cells. By embedding cell-free gene expression into a thin sheet of protein filaments, they were able to make the material wrinkle, rise into blister-like shapes and break into bundles that flow around one another.
We haven't written up this one. Phys.org has the full story — the link below goes straight to it.
