Lateral Transfer of DNA in Protocell-like Synthetic Cells
… how molecules could have moved between primitive cells is a central problem in Astrobiology and Geobiology. This thesis investigates whether electroporation can mediate the transfer of DNA into and between synthetic cells, potentially enabling gene expression in initially DNA-free compartments. …

Structural and functional complexity in synthetic cells from amphiphilic DNA nanostars
… to localise and segregate function in biological cells. The most fundamental compartment is the cell itself, being physically delimited from its surroundings *via* the phospholipid cell membrane. Sub-compartments within the cell, known as organelles, may also be membrane-bound or membrane-less. …

Expanding the synthetic cell toolkit: programmable fusion for complex genetic circuits and a synthetic cell cycle
Synthetic biology as a scientific discipline is relatively new; however, major strides have been taken to develop current in vitro technologies into platforms that can imitate life. Currently, synthetic cell technologies often address only one feature of life (cell division, protein expression, DNA …

DNA-based Artificial Mimics of Cell-surface Machinery
The plasma membrane of cells has evolved to mediate a broad array of functionalities critical to life, such as molecular trafficking, signal transduction, motility, adhesion and communication. These functionalities are often reliant on highly sophisticated membrane-anchored nano-machines, and …
