Droplet Microfluidics for Tumor Drug‐Related Studies and Programmable Artificial Cells [PDF]

open access: yesGlobal Challenges, 2021
Anticancer drug development is a crucial step toward cancer treatment, that requires realistic predictions of malignant tissue development and sophisticated drug delivery. Tumors often acquire drug resistance and drug efficacy, hence cannot be accurately

Signal Transduction in Artificial Cells

open access: yesSmall Methods, 2023
AbstractIn recent years, significant progress has been made in the emerging field of constructing biomimetic soft compartments with life‐like behaviors. Given that biological activities occur under a flux of energy and matter exchange, the implementation of rudimentary signaling pathways in artificial cells (protocells) is a prerequisite for the ...

From deterministic to fuzzy decision-making in artificial cells. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Commun, 2020
Building autonomous artificial cells capable of homeostasis requires regulatory networks to gather information and make decisions that take time and cost energy. Decisions based on few molecules may be inaccurate but are cheap and fast.

Artificial cells: prospects for biotechnology [PDF]

open access: greenTrends in Biotechnology, 2002
A variety of techniques can now be used to alter the genome of a cell. Although these techniques are very powerful, they have limitations related to cost and efficiency of scale. Artificial cells designed for specific applications combine properties of biological systems such as nanoscale efficiency, self-organization and adaptability at relatively low

A polymer–lipid membrane artificial cell nanocarrier containing enzyme–oxygen biotherapeutic inhibits the growth of B16F10 melanoma in 3D culture and in a mouse model

open access: yesArtificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 2021
Melanoma is a deadly skin cancer. Surgery is effective for early stages but there may be remnant cells. Treatments of later stages are associated with severe side effects. Moreover, a dangerous type of melanoma cannot be detected early enough for surgery.
