This paper presents a method to achieve programmable and dynamic DNA localisation at synthetic cell membranes using RNA linkers and enzymatic degradation.

This study investigates how varying PEG content in liposomes affects DNA-mediated surface tethering, finding that PEG can either block or enhance binding depending on membrane composition and PEG concentration.

This paper demonstrates the use of magnetic spherical nucleic acids to remotely control cell-free protein synthesis in tissue phantoms using magnetic hyperthermia.

This paper demonstrates light-controlled gene expression in synthetic cells to enable remote communication with bacteria via quorum-sensing molecules.

This paper introduces a method to create light-activated plasmids by site-specifically incorporating photocages, enabling controlled gene expression in both cell-free and mammalian systems.

This paper introduces a platform for creating DNA-based artificial cells with localized functionalities using reaction-diffusion waves, demonstrating spatial segregation of RNA synthesis and storage.

This paper constructs a dual-signal processor using lipid compartments to process two chemical signals in parallel and produce distinct outputs.
