Actin-Powered Motors Build Cytoskeletons in Artificial Cells

AUNAB members Assistant Prof. Miguel Ramos Docampo's and Prof. Brigitte Stadler's effort to engineered artificial cells to form cytoskeleton-like networks using nanomotor-driven actin polymerization is published in ACS Nano. These hybrid vesicles merge active matter with synthetic biology to achieve life-like movement and self-organization inspired by Listeria’s actin-based propulsion.
