The project aims to create synthetic cells capable of division by developing lipid vesicles that can autonomously split. By studying the mechanisms of cell division using nanofabrication and biophysics, it seeks to enhance our understanding of cellular reproduction.
Imagine building a living cell from basic components, a vesicle filled with biomolecules that can sustain itself and reproduce into similar offspring.
Can this be done?This proposal addresses the most tantalizing aspect: synthetic cell division.
We aim to build liposomes (lipid vesicles enclosing an aqueous solution with proteins and DNA) that can spontaneously divide through a contractile protein ring at the vesicle perimeter.
To realize this, we employ an experimental biophysics approach that…
