A simple mechanism could underlie the growth and self-replication of protocells—putative ancestors of modern living cells—suggests a study publishing September 3 in Biophysical Journal. Protocells are ...
Protocells were likely the first forms of life to take shape on Earth, but they lacked many of the modern conveniences found in today’s cells—most critically, a cell membrane. Scientists have long ...
A mathematical model shows how a thermodynamic mechanism could have made protocells split in two. An elegant ballet of proteins enables modern cells to replicate themselves. During cell division, ...
Membrane-bound structures similar to those that enclose living cells have been shown to spontaneously self-assemble on micrometeorites, offering a tantalising hint that dust strewn across planets ...
An international team comprising researchers from the University of Bristol, and Hunan and Central South Universities in China, have prepared biocompatible protocells that generate nitric oxide gas - ...

Today scientists took another step towards creating the sort of simple life forms that may have been the first inhabitants of Earth. I wrote a feature for the June issue of Discover about this group, ...
An elegant ballet of proteins enables modern cells to replicate themselves. During cell division, structural proteins and enzymes coordinate the duplication of DNA, the division of a cell’s ...
