World-First Working Eukaryotic Cell Made From Plastic

Zothecula writes "Previously, chemists have managed to create artificial cell walls and developed synthetic DNA to produce self-replicating, synthetic bacterial cells. Now, for the first time, researchers have used polymers to produce an artificial eukaryotic cell capable of undertaking multiple chemical reactions through working organelles."

Without their creation being able to replicate, it is essentially not a cell. All they've done now is having made a compartmentalized catalyst.
