Chemical communication at the synthetic cell/living cell interface
Communications Chemistry, 2021 Synthetic models of cells are becoming increasingly sophisticated, but engineering communication between these and living cells remains challenging. Here the authors review modes of communication and signal processing between living cells and synthetic ...

Block Copolymer Giant Unilamellar Vesicles for High-Throughput Screening
CHIMIA, 2022 Bottom-up synthetic cells offer the potential to study cellular processes with reduced complexity. Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) can mimic cells in their morphological characteristics because their architecture is precisely controllable.

Programmed magnetic manipulation of vesicles into spatially coded prototissue architectures arrays
Nature Communications, 2020 To execute higher-order functions, cells self-assemble into spatially coded tissue configurations. Here the authors magnetically assembly giant unilamellar vesicles into three dimensional tissue-mimic structures with collective osmotic stability.

Magnetoliposomes as model for signal transmission [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Liposomes containing magnetic nanoparticles (magnetoliposomes) have been extensively explored for targeted drug delivery. However, the magnetic effect of nanoparticles movement is also an attractive choice for the conduction of signals in communication ...

Reconstitution of proteins on electroformed giant unilamellar vesicles [PDF]
, 2015 In vitro reconstitution of simplified biological systems from molecular parts has proven to be a powerful method for investigating the biochemical and biophysical principles underlying cellular processes. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in reconstitution of protein-membrane interactions to understand the critical role played by ...

Rapid preparation of giant unilamellar vesicles. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996 We report here a rapid evaporation method that produces in high yield giant unilamellar vesicles up to 50 microns in diameter. The vesicles are obtained after only 2 min and can be prepared from different phospholipids, including L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine (lecithin), dipalmitoleoyl L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine, and beta-arachidonoyl gamma-palmitoyl L ...

Communications Biology, 2021 By encapsulating proteins in giant unilamellar vesicles, Bashirzadeh et al find that actin crosslinkers, α-actinin and fascin, can self-assemble with actin into complex structures that depend on the degree of confinement.
