Achieving high permeability and enhanced selectivity for Angstrom-scale separations using artificial water channel membranes

Nature Communications, 2018
Synthetic polymeric membranes used for separations suffer from permeability-selectivity trade-offs. Here the authors demonstrate how a bioinspired pillar[5]arene artificial water channel embedded in a copolymer membrane can improve selectivity while ...

Interfacing Coacervates with Membranes: From Artificial Organelles and Hybrid Protocells to Intracellular Delivery

Small Methods, 2023
Compartmentalization is crucial for the functioning of cells. Membranes enclose and protect the cell, regulate the transport of molecules entering and exiting the cell, and organize cellular machinery in subcompartments.
