write4u Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 Very exciting news. Perhaps a real theory of Abiogenesis can now be developed. I have long been very interested in the role microtubules play in the origin of life. They are a common denominator of all Eukaryotic life which suggests they are very old and probably instrumental in abiogenesis as they are responsible for self-duplication of DNA during mitosis, among the incredible other functions they perform in the process of homeostasis. Question: Do laboratories use microtubules in their experiments? I ask this due to the dynamic properties of microtubules, which would seem to be a necessary function in the evolutionary processes that led to life? Quote
