Is defining life pointless? Operational definitions at the frontiers of Biology [PDF]
, 2016 Despite numerous and increasing attempts to define what life is, there is no consensus on necessary and sufficient conditions for life. Accordingly, some scholars have questioned the value of definitions of life and encouraged scientists and philosophers

Design of Fuel‐Dependent, Complex‐Coacervate‐Based Synthetic Cells
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Fuel‐dependent synthetic cells form and persist only in the presence of chemical fuel, decaying under starvation. We establish design rules for hexapeptide‐based coacervates, showing that tryptophan enhances polyanion binding, extends lifetime, and reduces waste sensitivity.

Small, EarlyView.Switchable or transient formation and dissociation of the phase‐separated DNA microdroplets generated by metal ions or aptamer‐ligand complexes crosslinking Y‐shaped DNA frameworks and dynamically separated by counter ligands eliminating the bridging metal ions or biocatalysts degrading the aptamer‐ligand complexes, are introduced.

Sequence‐Modulated Active Tripeptide Condensates for Tandem Catalysis
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 13, 23 March 2026.Sequence‐modulated tripeptide coacervates mimic biomolecular condensates with controllable, enzyme‐regulated phase separation. They co‐sequester hydrophobic active species and hydrophilic enzymes, enabling tandem catalysis in aqueous media. Incorporated into artificial cells, they function as adaptive sub‐organelles, orchestrating compartmentalized ...

Putative roles of terpenoids in primitive membranes
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 For the continuation and evolution of life, primitive membranes formed from prebiotically available components must have fulfilled certain essential requirements. Candidate amphiphiles, such as straight-chain fatty acids, that can self-assemble into cell-
