This paper demonstrates a minimal one-component abscission machinery for synthetic cells using dynamin A, enabling self-dividing synthetic cells.

This study shows how the glycocalyx regulates liposome interactions with membranes through charge and steric effects, enabling fusion and internalization.

This paper introduces lipid-conjugated DNA (LiNA) to enable programmable fusion between LUVs and GUVs, demonstrating efficient delivery of lipids and proteins to synthetic cells.

This paper introduces a microfluidic platform for extracting and analyzing bacterial genomic DNA without fragmentation, demonstrating its use on B. subtilis cells.
