Systematic Preparation of Artificial Cells (DNA Crown Cells)

Artificial cells, which are engineered particles that mimic one or many functions of biological cells, have attracted much attention in recent decades as a new technology. In a previous study, artificial cells were prepared using chicken eggs and sphingosine-DNA. The resulting DNA crown cells were surrounded by a membrane containing lipid and DNA, which was formed with egg white components. The study describes a novel method that allows the easy preparation of DNA crown cells using adenosine and monolaurin. *Corresponding author: Shoshi Inooka, The Institute of Japan Applied Food Materials Science, Japan Association of Special Scientist, Japan, Tel: +81222410795; E-mail: [email protected] Received March 02, 2017; Accepted March 10, 2017; Published March 21, 2017 Citation: Inooka S (2017) Systematic Preparation of Artificial Cells (DNA Crown Cells).
