A self-organized synthetic morphogenic liposome responds with shape changes to local light cues

A self-organized synthetic morphogenic liposome responds with shape changes to local light cues

The authors generated a Synthetic Morphogenic Membrane System by encapsulating a dynamic microtubule aster and a light-inducible signaling system driven by GTP/ATP chemical potential into cell-sized liposomes. This reconstitution of artificial proto-cells reveals how non-equilibrium phenomena affect...
