Artificial cells are constructed to imitate natural cells and allow researchers to explore
biological process and the origin of life. The construction methods for artificial cells, through …

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 …

Bottom-up assembly of higher-order cytomimetic systems capable of coordinated physical
behaviours, collective chemical signalling and spatially integrated processing is a key …

Advancing the spontaneous bottom-up construction of artificial cells with high organizational
complexity and diverse functionality remains an unresolved issue at the interface between …

Recent studies have shown that the interactions between condensates and biological
membranes are of functional importance. Here, we study how the interaction between …

The design of compartmentalized colloids that exhibit biomimetic properties is providing
model systems for developing synthetic cell-like entities (protocells). Inspired by the cell …

Although the complexity of synthetic cells has continued to increase in recent years,
chemical communication between protocell models and living organisms remains a key …

Coacervates droplets have long been considered as potential protocells to mimic living
cells. However, these droplets lack a membrane and are prone to coalescence, limiting their …

Core-shell microparticles, composed of solid, liquid, or gas bubbles surrounded by a
protective shell, are gaining considerable attention as intelligent and versatile carriers that …

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 …
