Nanoporous Silica-Based Protocells at Multiple Scales for Designs of Life and Nanomedicine

Nanoporous Silica-Based Protocells at Multiple Scales for Designs of Life and Nanomedicine

Various protocell models have been constructed de novo with the bottom-up approach. Here we describe a silica-based protocell composed of a nanoporous amorphous silica core encapsulated within a lipid bilayer built by self-assembly that provides for independent definition of cell interior and the su...
