A major goal of synthetic biology is to understand the transition between non-living matter
and life. The bottom-up development of an artificial cell would provide a minimal system with …

Cells, sophisticated membrane‐bound units that contain the fundamental molecules of life,
provide a precious library for inspiration and motivation for both society and academia …

Construction of living artificial cells from genes and molecules can expand our
understanding of life system and establish a new aspect of bioengineering. However, growth …

The construction of energetically autonomous artificial protocells is one of the most
ambitious goals in bottom-up synthetic biology. Here, we show an efficient manner to build …

Coacervate-based membraneless organelles with diverse functionality as well as the
capability of mimicking intracellular physiological environments are attracting researchers' …

Intercellular communication is a hallmark of living systems. As such, engineering artificial
cells that possess this behavior has been at the heart of activities in bottom-up synthetic …

One aspect of the study of the origins of life focuses on how primitive chemistries assembled
into the first cells on Earth and how these primitive cells evolved into modern cells …

The design and chemical synthesis of artificial material objects which can mimic the
functions of living cells is an important ongoing scientific endeavor. A key challenge …

We report chemically fuelled out‐of‐equilibrium self‐replicating vesicles based on surfactant
formation. We studied the vesicles' autocatalytic formation using UPLC to determine …

Artificial cells that mimic the architectural and functional characteristics of living cells not only
shed light on the physical principle of life but also facilitate development in the areas such as …
