Research Abstract |
In recent years, artificial cell systems have been actively studies. Biomolecular reaction systems such as gene expression systems are enclosed In the artificial cells constructed with cell-sized small vesicles. However, up to date,dynamic phenomena have not been realized in artificial cells based on those artificial systems yet. In this study, we succeeded in the development of basic technologies to realize dynamic phenomena such as autonomous reactions and motions of artificial cells using microfluidic technology, which can precisely control a tiny volume of fluids.
