Exploring the Wonders of Lava Lamps: How Vesicles Help Cells Self-Organize
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if cells had the same properties as a lava lamp? Well, you don’t have to wonder anymore! Scientists have discovered a way to make cells act like a lava lamp. Using a special technique, they have created “vesicles” that can self-organize like a lava lamp. These vesicles are tiny bubble-like structures that are made up of fatty acids and proteins. In the presence of an electric field, these vesicles will move and interact with each other in ways similar to a lava lamp. This could have huge implications for the study of how cells self-organize and could lead to new treatments for diseases.
