Catalytic Amyloids: Turning Fibrils Into Biocatalysts
Amyloids, traditionally associated with diseases, have emerged as versatile catalytic scaffolds. From natural amyloid sequences to bioinspired and de novo designs, we highlight strategies to construct catalytic active sites and anchor enzymes onto fibrils, creating versatile nanomaterials with tunable activities. ABSTRACT Amyloids have been regarded as

Bottom‐up Strategies for Generating Polymer Protocells That Mimic Cellular Communication
This review focuses on polymeric protocells produced using a bottom‐up approach. Polymer‐based assemblies guarantee stability and designability by adjusting the properties of the amphiphilic copolymers used. The review covers protocell architectures, production, and their intra‐ and intercellular communication mechanisms.
