Droplet interface bilayer (DIB) is a lipid bilayer formed when two lipid monolayer-coated
aqueous droplets are brought in contact within an oil phase. DIBs, especially post …

Droplet interface bilayers (DIBs), comprising individual lipid bilayers between pairs of
aqueous droplets in an oil, are proving to be a useful tool for studying membrane proteins …

Artificial water channels are synthetic molecules that aim to mimic the structural and
functional features of biological water channels (aquaporins). Here we report on a cluster …

To date, reconstitution of one of the fundamental methods of cell communication, the
signaling pathway, has been unaddressed in the bottom-up construction of artificial cells …

Abstract 3D-printing networks of droplets connected by interface bilayers are a powerful
platform to build synthetic tissues in which functionality relies on precisely ordered …

Despite its prevalence in neurosensory systems for pattern recognition, event detection, and
learning, the effects of sensory adaptation (SA) are not explored in reservoir computing …

Homochiral membrane bilayers organize biological functions in all domains of life. The
membrane's permeability—its key property—correlates with a molecule's lipophilicity, but the …

The self-assembly of surfactant monolayers at interfaces plays a sweeping role in tasks
ranging from household cleaning to the regulation of the respiratory system. The synergy …

Abstract Model membranes can be used to elucidate the intricacies of the chemical
processes that occur in cell membranes, but the perfectly biomimetic, yet bespoke, model …

Amphiphilic gold core nanoparticles (AmNPs) striped with hydrophilic 11-mercapto-1-
undecanesulfonate (MUS) and hydrophobic 1-octanethiol (OT) ligands are promising …
