Leveraging synthetic particles for communication: from passive to active systems.
@article{Luan2020LeveragingSP, title={Leveraging synthetic particles for communication: from passive to active systems.}, author={Jiabin Luan and Danni Wang and Daniela A. Wilson}, journal={Nanoscale}, year={2020} }
Communication is one of the most remarkable behaviors in the living world. It is an important prerequisite for building an artificial cell which can be considered as alive. Achieving complex communicative behaviors leveraging synthetic particles will likely fill the gap between artificial vesicles and natural counterpart of cells and allow for the discovery of new therapies in medicine. In this review, we highlight recent endeavors for constructing communication with synthetic particles by…
