==''' | =='''Conclusion'''== | ||
*RFP tagged E. coli actin-like cytoskeleton filaments were cell-free synthesized. | |||
*In vitro behaviors of E. coli actin-like cytoskeleton filaments were well characterized via both microfluidics and SWNTs, which proved our previous hypothesis. | |||
=='''Prospect'''== | |||
===“Bottom-up” strategy to build up artificial cell surrogates=== | ===“Bottom-up” strategy to build up artificial cell surrogates=== | ||
*We successfully synthesized the actin-like cytoskeleton filaments in cell-free system and assembling components to create artificial cell surrogates. Bionanotechnology and microfluidics technology are also combined to artificially mimic the synthesis of subcellular structural unit which might contribute to recognizing, exploring and even creating life. | *We successfully synthesized the actin-like cytoskeleton filaments in cell-free system and assembling components to create artificial cell surrogates.
