Toward Understanding Protocell Mechanosensation
Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres, 2010Mechanosensitive (MS) channels can prevent bacterial bursting during hypo-osmotic shocks by responding to increases in lateral tension at the membrane level through an integrated and coordinated opening mechanism. Mechanical regulation in protocells could have been one of the first mechanisms to evolve in order to preserve their integrity against ...

Protocell Research and Its Implications
Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, 2010If and when protocells exist, they will exhibit three requisites for life: regeneration, replication, and evolution. Based on a recent collection of articles, this essay examines two major questions: (1) should research on development of protocells continue, and (2) what are the implications of this research for our understanding of "life."On the first

Physics Underlying the Formation of Protocells
Journal of Biological Physics, 1995The emergence of the first cellular organization on the primitive earth could be associated with pronounced heterotrophic activity embodied in heat engines actualized in local material aggregates. Heterotrophic activity intrinsically rests upon the capacity of local detection upholding the conservation of energy on the global scale.
