Internalization of Red Blood Cell-Mimicking Hydrogel Capsules with pH-Triggered Shape Responses

[Image: see text] We report on naturally inspired hydrogel capsules with pH-induced transitions from discoids to oblate ellipsoids and their interactions with cells. We integrate characteristics of erythrocytes such as discoidal shape, hollow structure, and elasticity with reversible pH-responsivene...
