Scientists uncover a novel and generic mechanism for the division of artificial cells into two daughter cells. The success of life on earth is based on the amazing ability of living cells to divide themselves into two daughter cells. During such a division process, the outer cell membrane has to undergo a series of morphological transformations that ultimately lead to membrane fission. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, Potsdam, and at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, have now achieved unprecedented control over these shape transformations and the resulting division process by anchoring low densities of proteins to the artificial cell membranes.

In the beginning there was one.
But one which wanted and was able to divide into two.
In the beginning there was a truth.
But a truth able and ready to be transformed into lies.
In the beginning there was life.
But life which was ready to be dissolved into nothingness…
The sun sets now.
In the beginning there was nothing.
In the beginning there were lies.
In the beginning there was everything…
Oh, dear darkness.

In the beginning there was life.
But life which was ready to be dissolved into nothingness…
The sun sets now.
In the beginning there was nothing.
In the beginning there were lies.
In the beginning there was everything…
Oh, dear darkness.
You were afraid so much of yourself.
That you could only dream of light...
