Microfluidic tech is increasingly used to produce liposomes, LNPs, giant vesicles, SynCells, & related membrane-bound structures. Pace of change is crazy. Check out our comprehensive review, now published in @LabonaChip where we try make sense of things. https://t.co/ARryYjDa1F

Our paper where we use use microfluidics to generate non-lamellar lipid nanoparticles (#cubosomes and #hexosomes) is out today in @SciReports. Had a lot of fun with this research - hopefully others find it useful. Huge congrats to all involved. ☀️❤️

Did a small bit of cryoEM for this huge bit of work from @Ignacio_Gispert @jwhindley and @YuvalElani CONGRATS 🦠🦠🥳
Can you engineer new capabilities into bacteria without genetic engineering? Yes! - Check our new @PNASNews paper where we use artificial cells that communicate with bacteria! https://t.co/62vPIr2TK7
