Droplet based microfluidics is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of research combining
soft matter physics, biochemistry and microsystems engineering. Its applications range from …

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 …

Living cells communicate and cooperate to produce the emergent properties of tissues.
Synthetic mimics of cells, such as liposomes, are typically incapable of cooperation and …

Nanopore sequencing of DNA is a single-molecule technique that may achieve long reads,
low cost and high speed with minimal sample preparation and instrumentation. Here, we …

Fabrication of artificial biomimetic materials has attracted abundant attention. As one of the
subcategories of biomimetic materials, artificial cells are highly significant for multiple …

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

Biological protein pores and pore-forming peptides can generate a pathway for the flux of
ions and other charged or polar molecules across cellular membranes. In nature, these …

Although neurons attract the most attention in neurobiology, our current knowledge of neural
circuit can only partially explain the neurological and psychiatric conditions of the brain …

We form networks from aqueous droplets by submerging them in an oil/lipid mixture. When
the droplets are joined together, the lipid monolayers surrounding them combine at the …
