Protocells: Milestones and Recent Advances [PDF]

open access: yesSmall, 2022
The origin of life is still one of humankind\u27s 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 ...

The limits of metabolic heredity in protocells [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2022
The universal core of metabolism could have emerged from thermodynamically favoured prebiotic pathways at the origin of life. Starting with H2 and CO2, the synthesis of amino acids and mixed fatty acids, which self-assemble into protocells, is favoured ...

Synthetic tissue engineering with smart, cytomimetic protocells

open access: yesBiomaterials, 2021
Synthetic protocells are rudimentary origin-of-life versions of natural cell counterparts. Protocells are widely engineered to advance efforts and useful accepted outcomes in synthetic biology, soft matter chemistry and bioinspired materials chemistry ...

Protocells Capable of Generating a Cytoskeleton-Like Structure from Intracellular Membrane-Active Artificial Organelles

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, 2023
The intricate nature of eukaryotic cells with differently viscous intracellular compartments provides (membrane-active) enzymes to trigger time- and concentration-dependent processes in the intra-/extracellular matrix.

A protocell with fusion and division

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2019
A protocell is a synthetic form of cellular life that is constructed from phospholipid vesicles and used to understand the emergence of life from a nonliving chemical network. To be considered ‘living’, a protocell should be capable of self-proliferation, which includes successive growth and division processes.
