Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Models of Primitive Cellular Compartments: Encapsulation, Growth, and Division
TL;DR: It is reported that montmorillonite accelerates the spontaneous conversion of fatty acid micelles into vesicles, thus providing a pathway for the prebiotic encapsulation of catalytically active surfaces within membrane vesicle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid chemistry at the oil-water interface: self-propelled oil droplets.
TL;DR: Fatty acids have been investigated as boundary structures to construct artificial cells due to their dynamic properties and phase transitions, and the possibility that fatty acid systems also demonstrate movement was explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Propelled Oil Droplets Consuming Fuel Surfactant
TL;DR: A micrometer-sized oil droplet of 4-octylaniline containing 5 mol % of an amphiphilic catalyst exhibited a self-propelled motion, producing tiny oil droplets, in an aqueous dispersion of an Amphiphilic precursor of4-oct Dylaniline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Replicating vesicles as models of primitive cell growth and division
TL;DR: Many bilayer-membrane vesicles, depending on their composition and environment, can exhibit complex morphological changes such as growth, fusion, fission, budding, internal vesicle assembly andvesicle-surface interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of chemotactic droplets in salt concentration gradients.
TL;DR: The ability of the decanol droplets to migrate in concentration gradients has been demonstrated not only in a linear chemotactic assay but also in a topologically complex environment.
