Researchers develop process producing cell-sized lipid vesicles for cell-cell synaptic therapies

(World Scientific) Novel and robust process to produce functionalized giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) on-demand from double emulsions templates results in artificial cells with surface ligand neuroligin-2 (NL-2) to promote insulin secretion in pancreatic β cells, demonstrating a versatile cell-cell synaptic therapeutic paradigm.
