Intercellular communication between artificial cells by allosteric amplification of a molecular signal

Intercellular communication between artificial cells by allosteric amplification of a molecular signal

The principles of intercellular communication in multicellular organisms can be explored using artificial cells. Here, the authors report on giant vesicles which can recognize diffused chemical signals and amplify the signal by synthetic enzymatic cascades to allow signal propagation over long dista...
