Predatory behaviour in synthetic protocell communities [PDF]
Recent progress in the chemical construction of colloidal objects comprising integrated biomimetic functions is paving the way towards rudimentary forms of artificial cell-like entities (protocells). Although several new types of protocells are currently

Protein Adsorption on Hybrids of Thermoresponsive Polymers and Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) is one of the most popular thermoresponsive polymers. Adsorption of RecA proteins onto hybrids of PNIPAAm and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was observed in the presence and absence of DNA molecules. Although

Electrospun Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/Ethyl Cellulose Nanofibers as Thermoresponsive Drug Delivery Systems [PDF]
Fibers of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm), ethyl cellulose (EC), and a blend of both were successfully fabricated by electrospinning. Analogous drug-loaded fibers were prepared loaded with ketoprofen (KET).

Swelling and shrinking properties of thermo-responsive polymeric ionic liquid hydrogels with embedded linear pNIPAAM [PDF]
In this study, varying concentrations of linear pNIPAAM have been incorporated for the first time into a thermo-responsive polymeric ionic liquid (PIL) hydrogel, namely tributyl-hexyl phosphonium 3-sulfopropylacrylate (P-SPA), to produce semi ...

Cell free expression in proteinosomes prepared from native protein-PNIPAAm conjugates
AbstractTowards the goal of building synthetic cells from the bottom-up, the establishment of micrometer-sized compartments that contain and support cell free transcription and translation that couple cellular structure to function is of critical importance.
