Researchers have created two types of synthetic protocells that can communicate with each other. (Image created with DALL-E)

Our publication on inter- and intra-communication in artificial cells triggered by light in collaboration with Feringa group from the University of Groningen was highlighted in the University of Basel News!

"A research team from the University of Basel has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete with artificial organelles. For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate natural cell-cell communication using these protocells – based on the model of photoreceptors in the eye. This opens up new possibilities for basic research and applications in medicine." wrote Angelika Jacobs.
