Ion‐ and Temperature‐Programmable Reconfiguration of Subcompartments in Synthetic Cells
ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.Spatial organization of subcompartments defines living cells, yet achieving dynamic and reversible compartmentalization remains challenging in bottom‐up synthetic cell design. We report a minimal, protein‐free mechanism in which Mg2+‐mediated intermembrane adhesion reversibly couples neutral large unilamellar vesicle (LUV) subcompartments to negatively

Protocell arrays for simultaneous detection of diverse analytes
Nature Communications, 2021 Simultaneous detection of multiple analytes from a sample is currently difficult. Here the authors present protocell arrays in a customisable platform integrating cell-free expression with a polymer-based aqueous two-phase system; they use this for ...

SYNCHRONIZATION PHENOMENA IN PROTOCELL MODELS
BIOMAT 2007, 2008 This work aims to consider simplified models of protocells in order to describe their general behaviors. The advantage of the modelling approach is that the early protocells of life-forms on Earth are not reproduced in the present time. However, the problem is considered as a right track to understand the origin of life as well as to work with more ...

Fast and Slow Signal Propagation in Abiotic Polypeptide Assemblies
ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 6, 27 March 2026.Proteinoid microspheres formed by thermal polymerization of amino acids exhibit spontaneous electrical potential fluctuations without genetic material, membranes, or ion channels. Multi‐electrode recordings and electron microscopy reveal composition‐dependent voltage oscillations, long‐term drifts, and correlated signals across electrodes.

Biomimetic Construction of Abiotic Membranes Through Acylation of Cationic Diamino Acids
ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 6, 27 March 2026.Cells produce membrane‐forming phospholipids through complex enzymatic pathways. Here, we present the in situ synthesis of a novel class of abiotic phospholipid analogs (APAs) featuring a permanent choline‐mimetic cation on diamino acid backbones.

Chemical systems, chemical contiguity and the emergence of life
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2017 Charting the emergence of living cells from inanimate matter remains an intensely challenging scientific problem. The complexity of the biochemical machinery of cells with its exquisite intricacies hints at cells being the product of a long evolutionary ...

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