Ketan A. Ganar, Liza Leijten, Siddharth Deshpande
Abstract
protein translation within them. Actinosomes are a handy addition to the synthetic cell platform, with appealing properties like ease of production, inherent encapsulation capacity, and a potentially active surface to trigger signaling cascades and form multicellular assemblies, conceivably useful for biotechnological applications.
