Hybrid Protocells based on Coacervate-Templated Fatty Acid Vesicles combine Improved Membrane Stability with Functional Interior Protocytoplasm

This paper describes hybrid protocells combining coacervate droplets with fatty acid membranes, showing improved stability and functional interior chemistry.

Cell-free expressed membraneless organelles sequester RNA in synthetic cells

This study creates synthetic cells with membraneless organelles that sequester RNA and modulate protein expression, advancing understanding of natural organelle function and synthetic biology.

Mapping the dynamic transfer functions of epigenome editing

This study quantifies the maximum information transfer across a promoter using epigenome editing and shows that chromatin state can tune gene expression and transfer functions.
