The design and construction of synthetic cells–human‐made microcompartments that mimic
features of living cells–have experienced a real boom in the past decade. While many efforts …

Scientists are captivated by the prospect of creating a fully synthetic cell, offering the
potential to revolutionize biology, medicine and biotechnology. In this Viewpoint, a panel of …

Osteoporosis is an age-related disorder characterized by progressive bone loss and
impaired bone regeneration following surgery. The key to the treatment of osteoporosis is …

Living systems are molecular assemblies whose dynamics are maintained by non-
equilibrium chemical reactions. To date, artificial cells have been studied from such physical …

Synthetic droplets mimicking bio-soft matter droplets formed via liquid-liquid phase
separation (LLPS) in living cells have recently been employed in nanobiotechnology for …

Living cells regulate many of their vital functions through dynamic, membraneless
compartments that phase separate (condense) in response to different types of stimuli. In …

The confluence of recent discoveries of the roles of biomolecular liquids in living systems
and modern abilities to precisely synthesize and modify nucleic acids (NAs) has led to a …

Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) droplets of biopolymers are known as functional
microdroplets in living cells and have recently been used to construct protocells and artificial …

Stem cells exhibit prominent clusters controlling the transcription of genes into RNA. These
clusters form by a phase-separation mechanism, and their size and shape are controlled via …

In this study, a one‐step method is discussed for producing uniform cell‐sized microgels
using glass capillaries filled with a binary polymer blend of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and …
