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…

An Interactive Model of Communication between Abiotic Nanodevices and Living Microorganisms.
TLDR
This work reports a stimuli-responsive interactive paradigm of communication between yeasts (as a model microorganism) and enzyme-controlled Janus Au-mesoporous silica nanoparticles and shows that in the presence of the stimulus, the information flows from themicroorganism to the nanodevice, and then returns from thenanodevice to the microorganisms as a feedback.
