Scientists have discovered that simple organic compounds like glycolic and lactic acid polymerize and self-assemble into cell-sized droplets when dried and rewetted, as might have happened along primitive beaches and drying puddles. These cell-like compartments can trap and concentrate biomolecules, and can merge and separate, forming versatile and heterogeneous cell-like containers possibly critical for the origin of life.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2019\/07\/190723085953.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Scientists discover new chemistry that may help explain the origins of cellular life<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ScienceDaily&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All life is cellular, but the origins of cellularity remain unknown.
