Organization and triggered release of liposomes with DNA-based synthetic condensates

This paper describes a DNA-based platform that spatially organizes and releases liposomes to mimic cellular communication.

Internal phase separation in synthetic DNA condensates

This study creates synthetic DNA condensates that form single or two-phase structures, showing how their properties can be controlled and modeled using a Flory-Huggins framework.

Cation-controlled assembly, activity, and organisation of biomimetic DNA receptors in synthetic cell membranes

This study develops DNA-based receptors in synthetic membranes that respond to cations, enabling controlled assembly and catalytic activity, mimicking biological signaling mechanisms.

Enzyme-Responsive DNA Condensates

This paper demonstrates the localization of nucleic-acid cleaving enzyme activity within DNA-based membrane-less compartments, enabling spatially organized enzymatic reactions and dynamic pattern formation.
