Compartmentalization and Cell Division through Molecular Discreteness and Crowding in a Catalytic Reaction Network

open access: yesLife, 2014
Explanation of the emergence of primitive cellular structures from a set of chemical reactions is necessary to unveil the origin of life and to experimentally synthesize protocells.

From inanimate matter to living systems [PDF]

open access: yes
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.

Nothing is alive [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Finding an adequate definition of "life" has proven to be a tricky affair. In this article, I discuss the idea that nothing is really alive: we only say so.

Concepts of a synthetic minimal cell: Information molecules, metabolic pathways, and vesicle reproduction

open access: yesBiophysics and Physicobiology
How 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,

On Protocell "Computation" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The EU FP6 Integrated Project PACE ('Programmable Artificial Cell Evolution') is investigating the creation, de novo, of chemical 'protocells'. These will be minimal 'wetware' chemical systems integrating molecular information carriers, primitive energy conversion (metabolism) and containment (membrane).

Ageing as a price of cooperation and complexity: Self-organization of complex systems causes the ageing of constituent networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The analysis of network topology and dynamics is increasingly used for the description of the structure, function and evolution of complex systems.

Antagonistic chemical coupling in self-reconfigurable host–guest protocells

open access: yesNature 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 ...

The un-designability of the virtual. Design from problem-solving to problem-finding. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Drawing on Gilles Deleuze (1991) this chapter investigates the virtual as what problematizes the possible by inserting contingency in the process of emergence of the new.
