Bottom‐up synthetic biology is the science of building systems that mimic the structure and
function of living cells from scratch. To do this, researchers combine tools from chemistry …

Biological membranes play an essential role in living organisms by providing stable and
functional compartments, preserving cell architecture, whilst supporting signalling and …

Eukaryotic cells face the challenging task of transporting a variety of particles through the
complex intracellular milieu in order to deliver, distribute, and mix the many components that …

Synthetic polymer membranes, critical to diverse energy-efficient separations, are subject to
permeability-selectivity trade-offs that decrease their overall efficacy. These trade-offs are …

The delicate structure and fantastic functions of biological membranes are the successful
evolutionary results of a long‐term natural selection process. Their excellent biocompatibility …

Despite tremendous efforts to develop stimuli-responsive enzyme delivery systems, their
efficacy has been mostly limited to in vitro applications. Here we introduce, by using an …

Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are microcompartments serving to confine reactions,
allow signaling pathways, or design synthetic cells. Polymer GUVs are composed of …

Incompatibilities encountered in multienzyme syntheses often arise from inhibition or
inactivation of individual enzymes by low-molecular-mass compounds. Polymersomes have …

Synthetic cells have a major role in gaining insight into the complex biological processes of
living cells; they also give rise to a range of emerging applications from gene delivery to …

Polymer capsules, fabricated either with the aid of a sacrificial template or via the self-
assembly of block copolymers into polymer vesicles (polymersomes), have attracted a great …
