Scientists propose that two distinct models of protocells – vesicles and coacervates – may have played a pivotal role in the early stages of life. Vesicles are tiny bubbles, like soap in water.

In physics, a system composed of two substances can be modeled in accordance with classical mixture theory, which considers ...

The bottom-up reconstitution of natural filaments within simplified artificial cellular compartments, such as coacervates, offer a model to study, mimic, and potentially exploit cellular functions.
