Droplet microfluidics is a relatively new and rapidly evolving field of science focused on
studying the hydrodynamics and properties of biphasic flows at the microscale, and on the …

Compartmentalization of biological content and function is a key architectural feature in
biology, where membrane bound micro-and nanocompartments are used for performing a …

The design of membrane-based constructs with multiple compartments is of increasing
importance given their potential applications as microreactors, as artificial cells in synthetic …

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary field that aims to engineer biological systems for
useful purposes. Organism engineering often requires the optimization of individual genes …

Biological membranes provide a physical boundary that separates the inside and outside of
a cell or organelle. They also mediate signal transduction and transport of various molecules …

This review highlights recent development of biosensors that use the functions of membrane
proteins. Membrane proteins are essential components of biological membranes and have a …

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 …

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 …

Basic biophysical studies and pharmacological processes can be investigated by mimicking
the intracellular and extracellular environments across an artificial cell membrane construct …

Many antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are cationic host defence peptides (HDPs) that interact
with microbial membranes. This ability may lead to implementation of AMPs as therapeutics …
