Really nice write up and video from @syncelleu.bsky.social about our latest work in @natcomms.nature.com on building synthetic cells with complex membranes. Thanks! youtu.be/mlaH-YcN_Uo?... syntheticcell.eu/synthetic-me... @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @mpici.bsky.social

Our latest paper in @natcomms.nature.com details how we can assemble complex protein decorated synthetic cells with asymmetric membrane domains that are able to deform and divide. @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @mpici.bsky.social #OpenAccess #syncells t.co/rg0j0FLX6Z

Poster session = a blast! Great science, good laughs, and old friends like @labrobinson.bsky.social. Bonus: conference dinner featured Félix Goñi singing & an asymmetry song with Georg Pabst & John Seddon!
