I dunno I just clicked the first Google result. How about: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/artificial-life-synthetic-dna-scientists-living-organisms-create-scripps-research-institute-floyd-a8083966.html

Also bear in mind when I say 'pretty close' I'm not talking by my next birthday, here, but I reckon within our lifetimes we'll see at least synthetic cells and possibly designer bacteria

Yet these mock cells are cutting-edge, "the closest anyone has come to building an actual functioning synthetic eukaryotic cell,"
