New Paper (2025): Modelling the prebiotic origins of regulation and agency in evolving protocell ecologies

How could the first living systems learn to regulate themselves before the emergence of genes? In their new paper, Ben Shirt-Ediss, Arián Ferrero-Fernández, Daniele De Martino, Leonardo Bich, Álvaro Moreno, and Kepa Ruiz-Mirazo tackle this question through Araudia, a novel simulation platform for studying protocell evolution. They show that simple protocell ecologies, composed of metabolically […]
