Extracellular Vesicles and Origin of Life

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the role of extracellular vesicles, which are lipid bilayer particles released by endosymbiotic archaea, in regulating human cell functions akin to an alternate nervous system. It discusses the evolutionary journey from protozoans like Entamoeba, influenced by various endosymbionts, to the development of multicellular organisms. Key themes include horizontal gene transfer and the impact of global warming on the evolution of new life forms, highlighting the emergence of chimeric symbiotic organisms.
