The lab of SynthImmune PI and co-spokesperson Kerstin Göpfrich has posted a preprint entitled “Buoyancy-driven sorting of synthetic cells for nanopore activity”.
In it, the authors present a new sorting strategy of lipid vesicles for synthetic cell research. Whereas current methodologies typically rely on sequential label-dependent probing, their strategy is label-free and instead buoyancy-driven, coupling pore activity directly to the synthetic vesicles’ internal density. This system promises to be a scalable platform for screening, sorting, and evolving membrane pores in synthetic cell systems.
