Synthetic Carbon fixation just got a boost 🚀: Synthetic Biology outperformed Nature in a Living Bacterium. Check out the new work from @BDronsella @erblabs together with @NicoC_MicSynBio @MIB_WUR #synbio, #formatebioeconomy mpi-marburg.mpg.de/1493129/2025-0…
New publication from the Rodriguez-Emmenegger Lab!
Thank @AdvPortfolio. This work features a new concept for vesicle-forming amphiphiles with two ingredients: (1) a comb topology that prohibits entanglement compared to traditional polymersomes, (2) intermolecular H-bonds that create elastic heterogeneities and faceting.
Spotlight on Patricia Bassereau, #SynCellEU community member At the @institut_curie, she and her group work on cell membranes and their associated cellular functions. What drew her to this field and motivates her in her work? 5 things to know about her👇 syntheticcell.eu/meet-the-commu…
