Biological membranes provide a physical boundary that separates the inside and outside of
a cell or organelle. They also mediate signal transduction and transport of various molecules …

Droplet interface bilayers (DIBs), comprising individual lipid bilayers between pairs of
aqueous droplets in an oil, are proving to be a useful tool for studying membrane proteins …

Droplet interface bilayers are versatile model membranes useful for synthetic biology and
biosensing; however, to date they have always been confined to fluid reservoirs. Here, we …

We describe a protocol for forming an artificial lipid bilayer by contacting nanoliter aqueous
droplets in an oil solution in the presence of phospholipids. A lipid monolayer forms at each …

Abstract Model membranes can be used to elucidate the intricacies of the chemical
processes that occur in cell membranes, but the perfectly biomimetic, yet bespoke, model …

Droplet interface bilayer (DIB) networks have vast potential in the field of membrane
biophysics, synthetic biology, and functional bio-electronics. However a technological …

The droplet interface bilayer (DIB) is a modular technique for assembling planar lipid
membranes between water droplets in oil. The DIB method thus provides a unique capability …

The cell membrane is a protective barrier whose configuration determines the exchange
both between intracellular and extracellular regions and within the cell itself. Consequently …

Reservoir computing is a brain-inspired machine learning framework for processing
temporal data by map** inputs into high-dimensional spaces. Physical reservoir …

A gel-supported lipid bilayer formed at the base of an artificial hair is used as the
transduction element in an artificial, membrane-based hair cell sensor inspired by the …
