Scientists Have Built Synthetic Cells That React to External Cues, Just Like Real Ones

Researchers have developed artificial cells that can respond to external chemical forces, just like real ones do. This exciting step could get us closer to using synthetic biological structures in real-world situations, such as targeted drug delivery or cleaning up pollution.

> built a cell made up of smaller compartments called vesicles. At the cell edge is a lipid membrane containing pores that allow calcium to enter, and the calcium ions then activate enzymes inside the vesicles, producing the fluorescing effect.

Interesting.
