It's hard to believe it but Kabackosomes aren't the inventions of some wacko fiction writer, rather they represented a real breakthrough in biology!

American scientist Howard Kaback wanted to study biological membranes which protect and separate cells from the outside environment. When Kaback began his research, not much was known about these strange living barriers. Kaback was able to grab natural vesicles from bacteria for his experiments. Vesicles are small water-repelling structures that exist inside or outside of cells. He theorized that their outer layers could act similarly to regular cells even though they lack the cytoplasm that normally exists inside living cells. At the time, researchers knew that cells engaged in active transport by moving ions or molecules across their membranes, but they weren't entirely sure how that process worked. Living cells with cytoplasm would break down or change incoming molecules which would interfere with testing, so researchers couldn't figure out what was going on during active transport. Kaback found that ions and molecules don't just move from high concentration across the cell membrane, but, using vesicles, he found an electrochemical proton gradient at the atomic level helped control the process making cells very similar to batteries. Kaback's free-cell membrane systems for studying active transport were then dubbed "Kabackosomes" by his friend and colleague, Dutch scientist Wilhelmus N. Konings.

Kabacksomes and the results they created shook the scientific community so badly, that it took years before any paper was willing to publish Kaback's findings. Once they did, he revolutionized the field and went on to win multiple awards thanks to his work with Kabackosomes.
