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

Living cells possess a variety of transmembrane signaling systems that receive chemical
and physical cues from the environment and transduce this information into an intracellular …

Vesicles consisting of a bilayer membrane of amphiphilic lipid molecules are remarkably
flexible surfaces that show an amazing variety of shapes of different symmetry and topology …

The addition of ions in micromolar (CaCl2 or HCl) or millimolar (NaCl) concentrations can
change the morphology of “crew-cut” aggregates of amphiphilic block copolymers in dilute …

The conventional fashion by which compounds are synthesized in the laboratory and, to a
large extent, in vivo relies upon the stepwise formation of covalent bonds. However, such a …

An elusive goal for systemic drug delivery is to provide both spatial and temporal control of
drug release. Liposomes have been evaluated as drug delivery vehicles for decades, but …

Constructing higher-order vesicle assemblies has discipline-spanning potential from
responsive soft-matter materials to artificial cell networks in synthetic biology. This potential …

We show how to create arrays of biosensors by in situ assembly of colloidal particles onto
micropatterned electrodes. Latex microspheres from suspension are collected via …

A wide range of bilayer aggregates, among them tubules, vesicles, large compound vesicles
(LCVs), and lamellae, were prepared from various polystyrene-b-poly (ethylene oxide)(PS-b …
