Lilly Model.
The American histochemist, who revolutionized the presented model and became its founder, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of membranes as components of a living cell. Lilly and R. Wiley proposed a representative fluid mosaic model for the existence of cells with fluid replacement between membranes. In structure and shape they resembled amoebas. The contents of the intercellular space were filled by allophages - highly differentiated membranes during evolution. Lysosomes were considered low molecular weight tubules of the cytoplasm. The nuclei were considered committed to fission. Scientist John Todd Miller, who made enormous contributions to the development of medical science and lived in the first half of the 20th century, wrote: “Such a model of a cell is like an idealized photograph of an image of a physical body framed by a rough frame. The cell is not just this fuzzy, dark, indistinct thing, it is dense, structured and functional." According to this model, a part of the protein and a proportion of water are concentrated in the vacuole, and when it decreases due to cell aging, excess proteins pass through the pores into the electron-dense matrix of the cytoplasm, where under the influence of ATP a new substance is formed that is necessary to maintain the body. As a result, an egg is born, the stratum corneum of the skin ages, the mechanism for the development of viable offspring is disrupted in all organisms, tissues are gradually destroyed, subsequently an organ, and death occurs.
