The paper introduces a magnetic microrobot platform to spatiotemporally control cell differentiation by delivering biological signals to target cells.

This study demonstrates light-controlled actin polymerization in protocells, enabling directed motility and revealing the role of branched and linear actin networks in membrane protrusion.

The paper demonstrates symmetry breaking in an active protocellular system through externally-controlled actin polymerization in giant unilamellar vesicles.

The paper develops iPOLYMER, a method to induce protein-based hydrogels in living cells, mimicking RNA granules by sequestering polyadenine-containing nucleotides.
