Biophysics and PhysicobiologyHow do the living systems emerge from non-living molecular assemblies? What physical and chemical principles supported the process? To address these questions, a promising strategy is to artificially reconstruct living cells in a bottom-up way. Recently,

From inanimate matter to living systems [PDF]
Since the early part of this century, the Genesis account of the origin and evolution of life has been explained as an extrapolation of astronomical and geochemical processes.

Ageing as a price of cooperation and complexity: Self-organization of complex systems causes the ageing of constituent networks [PDF]
, 2008 The analysis of network topology and dynamics is increasingly used for the description of the structure, function and evolution of complex systems.

Evolution and self-assembly of protocells [PDF]
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2009 Cells define the minimal building blocks of life. How cellular life emerged and evolved implies to cross the boundary between living and nonliving matter. Here we explore this problem by presenting several relevant components of the whole picture involving chemistry, physics and natural selection.

STAR ProtocolsSummary: Sensing is a critical function of artificial cells; however, this is challenging to realize using bottom-up approaches. Here, we present a protocol for building protocell membranes that sense cues important for redox biochemistry and signaling ...

Antagonistic chemical coupling in self-reconfigurable host–guest protocells
Nature Communications, 2018 Multi-compartmentalised soft micro-systems are used as models of synthetic protocells. Here, the authors developed nested host–guest protocell constructs capable of self-reconfiguration in response to changes in pH generated by antagonistic modes of ...

Conditions for emergent synchronization in protocells
, 2007 A major aspect of the dynamics of a populations of protocells, is that, in order to assure sustainable growth, the genetic material and container productions must be synchronized if they are coupled. In a previous work [10] we have shown that such synchronization is an emergent property in many relevant protocell models, assuming both linear and ...
