The origin of life is still one of humankind's great mysteries. At the transition between
nonliving and living matter, protocells, initially featureless aggregates of abiotic matter, gain …

The bottom‐up construction of a synthetic cell from nonliving building blocks capable of
mimicking cellular properties and behaviors helps to understand the particular biophysical …

Liposomes are ubiquitous tools in biomedical applications, such as drug delivery,
membrane science and artificial cell. Micro-and nanofabrication techniques have …

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

Multiple-emulsion drops serve as versatile templates to design functional microcapsules due
to their core–shell geometry and multiple compartments. Microfluidics has been used for the …

Microfluidics is an emerging technology that can be employed as a powerful tool for
designing lipid nano-microsized structures for biological applications. Those lipid structures …

Blood purification by adsorption of excessive biomolecules is vital for maintaining human
health. Here, inspired by kidney self‐purification, which removes a number of biomolecules …

Creating a magic bullet that can selectively kill cancer cells while sparing nearby healthy
cells remains one of the most ambitious objectives in pharmacology. Nanomedicine, which …

The desire to develop artificial cells to imitate living cells in synthetic vesicle platforms has
continuously increased over the past few decades. In particular, heterogeneous synthetic …

Capillary‐based microfluidics is a great technique to produce monodisperse and complex
emulsions and particulate suspensions. In this review, the current understanding of drop and …
