Abstract
It is indicated why it is plausible to assume that the initiation of cellular life was based on properties of vesicles. Vesicle properties relevant for the process of vesicle self-reproduction are revealed. Some open questions related to the idea that vesicle self-reproduction is an evolutionary process that includes the elements of the Darwinian selection are put forward, and some suggestions are made for possible directions of further research.Mesh:
