Multi-compartment encapsulation of communicating droplets and droplet networks in hydrogel as a model for artificial cells

Constructing a cell mimic is a major challenge posed by synthetic biologists. Efforts to this end have been primarily focused on lipid- and polymer-encapsulated containers, liposomes and polymersomes, respectively. Here, we introduce a multi-compartment, nested system comprising aqueous droplets sta...
