Coacervate Vesicles as Adaptive Platforms for Synthetic Biology and Smart Materials

Our latest concept paper, published in Chemistry-A European Journal, introduces Coacervate Vesicles as a new class of protocells that combine the functionalities of complex coacervates with the robustness of membranised architectures. These novel artificial cells offer enhanced compartmentalisation and stability, opening up exciting possibilities in areas ranging from bio-inspired systems to drug delivery and synthetic …
