Coronal Complexation Induces Snowman‐Shaped Janus Polymersome Formation
Snowman‐like Janus polymersomes were produced in a simple, yet versatile two‐step approach involving a plasticizing agent and a cationic polymer additive to complex with the charged polymersome. Shape transformation was driven by coronal complexation altering membrane structure, followed by segregation of the polymer additive to form a protruding bleb ...

A Single‐Molecule Liposome Assay for Membrane Permeabilization
The rapid screening of compounds capable of disrupting or permeabilizing biological membranes is essential to the search for new therapeutics. Here, we present an ultrasensitive single‐molecule confocal microscopy assay combined with fast‐flow microfluidics to study membrane permeabilization in large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs).

The role of water displacement in noncovalent binding has been debated in the fields of supramolecular chemistry and drug design. We use molecular dynamics simulations of idealized host‐guest systems to address the long‐standing controversy of whether water is merely a bystander or an actual driver of noncovalent binding in aqueous solution. To isolate
