How could a simple self-replicating system emerge at the origins of life? RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but existing ones are so large that their self-replication seems impossible. Could they be smaller?

Exploring the Forces That Shape Cells - ASCB
Cells are constantly pushing, pulling, and responding to the physical forces around them—and those forces play a critical role in shaping cell behavior, organization, and function. Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC), ASCB’s flagship journal, brings these dynamics into focus through its Forces on and within Cells collection. Spanning molecular mechanics, cytoskeletal dynamics, and force-driven…
