Self-assembled cell-scale containers made from DNA origami membranes - Nature Materials Through the programmable self-assembly of lipid-inspired radially symmetric DNA, porous molecular membranes and cell-sized compartments are formed with applications in bottom-up biology and soft robot...

The long-awaited Dipids paper is finally out www.nature.com/articles/s41...! Check out the largest containers ever self-assembled from DNA origami🧬, and the amazing person and story behind it www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... Congrats to Christoph🎉 and thanks for letting me be part of this journey🥹!

AI-Designed Protein Nanoassembly: Molecular Lego's Next Frontier! AI-powered protein design creates modular nanostructures, transforming molecular engineering by unlocking protein building blocks that assemble like dynamic Lego components.

Can we play Lego using proteins? Oh yeah! With some help from machine learning 🧪🧬🖥️

Delighted to share my first first author paper, where we realized multi-μm membrane-like shells made entirely of DNA! Huge thanks to co-first author Christoph without whom this wouldn't be possible. This was born from his side-project involving Dipids, stay tuned for the soon-to-be-published paper!

Physics of swimming and its fitness cost determine strategies of bacterial investment in flagellar motility - Nature Communications Microbial strategies for allocating limited resources to different cellular functions remain to be fully understood. Lisevich et al. show how the interplay between general physical and context-depende...
