Synthetic associative learning in engineered multicellular consortia
Javier Macia, Blai Vidiella, Ricard Sole
Associative learning is one of the key mechanisms displayed by living organisms in order to adapt to their changing environments. It was early recognized to be a general trait of c…

Synthetic Turing protocells: vesicle self-reproduction through symmetry-breaking instabilities
J. Macia, R. V. Sole
The reproduction of a living cell requires a repeatable set of chemical events to be properly coordinated. Such events define a replication cycle, coupling the growth and shape cha…

Protocell Self-Reproduction in a Spatially Extended Metabolism-Vesicle System
Javier Macia, Ricard V. Sole
Cellular life requires the presence of a set of biochemical mechanisms in order to maintain a predictable process of growth and division. Several attempts have been made towards th…
