Such periodic behavior — a primitive version of
cell cycle events — emerged in the system because the synthesized proteins could diffuse out of the compartment through the capillaries, mimicking natural protein turnover behavior in living cells.

Moreover, the Galli group
studies cell cycles that lead to polyploidization, such as endoreplication and endomitosis, and how these cycles are regulated in normal physiology and in disease.
