G‐Quadruplexes: Structural Diversity and Emerging Roles in Biomolecular Condensation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.
G‐quadruplexes (G4s) fold into diverse intra‐ and intermolecular structures, positioning them as emerging regulators of biomolecular condensation. Mechanistically, G4s autonomously form condensates, act as structural platforms to initiate and stimulate condensation, or induce phase transitions.

Freeze‐thaw Fusion Enables Multi‐component Delivery and Protein Synthesis in POPG‐containing Lipid Vesicles

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 4, July 2026.
POPG‐containing membranes reduce leakage during freeze–thaw fusion, enabling efficient multi‐component delivery and protein synthesis inside GUVs. ABSTRACT Fusion between giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) provides a simple way to deliver and mix biochemical substrates within compartments surrounded by phospholipid membrane.

Let There be Light! Light as an Engine and Regulator in Synthetic Cells

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 24, 8 June 2026.
Cells are out‐of‐equilibrium systems that regulate their spatiotemporal features. In biomimetic synthetic cells, light offers a unique way for energizing and regulating events in space and time. This review explores the implementation of light‐responsive tools in synthetic cells to replicate biological functions and enable new bioinspired behaviors ...
