Vesicle-templated self-assembly of freestanding multi-μm DNA shells https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.21.683722v1
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!
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🥹!
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...
