Abstract

Thanks to the development of experimental techniques and theories to study biological systems, it has been elucidated that a cell migrates through the deformation of cell membranes driven by the collective motion of self-propelled particles, in its cytoskeleton. It is known that there is not only the biological self-propelled particles but nonbiological self-propelled colloids. Dynamical properties of colloids and cell membranes have been well studied in terms of soft matter physics . Utilizing the knowledge of soft matter physics, we have been studying the reconstitution of cell migration using the complex of artificial vesicles of phospholipids, which are the main components of cell membranes, and self-propelled colloids. In this chapter, we introduce the physics and our recent results relevant to the artificial cell without biological active molecules.
