Models of Protocells Undergoing Asymmetrical Division [PDF]

Entropy
The conditions that allow for the sustained growth of a protocell population are investigated in the case of asymmetrical division. The results are compared to those of previous studies concerning models of symmetrical division, where synchronization ...

Bottom-up Strategies for Generating Polymer Protocells That Mimic Cellular Communication. [PDF]

Chemistry
This review focuses on polymeric protocells produced using a bottom‐up approach. Polymer‐based assemblies guarantee stability and designability by adjusting the properties of the amphiphilic copolymers used. The review covers protocell architectures, production, and their intra‐ and intercellular communication mechanisms.

Colony-like Protocell Superstructures [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2021
AbstractWe report the formation, growth, and dynamics of model protocell superstructures on solid surfaces, resembling single cell colonies. These structures, consisting of several layers of lipidic compartments enveloped in a dome-shaped outer lipid bilayer, emerged as a result of spontaneous shape transformation of lipid agglomerates deposited on ...

Protocells: Milestones and Recent Advances [PDF]

Small, 2022
AbstractThe origin of life is still one of humankind's great mysteries. At the transition between nonliving and living matter, protocells, initially featureless aggregates of abiotic matter, gain the structure and functions necessary to fulfill the criteria of life.

An inorganic mineral-based protocell with prebiotic radiation fitness

Nature Communications, 2023
Protocell fitness under extreme prebiotic conditions is critical in understanding the origin of life. However, little is known about protocell’s survival and fitness under prebiotic radiations.

Introduction. Artificial protocells [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2007
What makes a cell? How are cells able to replicate themselves in a stable manner? How did cellular life emerge on our planet? The answer to these fundamental questions lies at the base of biology.
