Our actinosome story is now online in @ACSSynBio https://t.co/bcdQoLQy5e
Look at these cuties express GFP in a flash! Excellent work by the first author @ketanganar; worth mentioning that the idea was sparked serendipitously with a BSc student doing a thesis with us 😀 @PCC_WUR

[Synthetic Cell initiative @SynCellEU]

A three-dimensional container capable of orchestrating biochemical reactions is a prerequisite for engineering #synthetic #cells

Researchers at Wageningen University have developed a simple technique for making them.

Very happy to contribute to '3D-printed PDMS barriers for flexible flow control in paper microfluidics', now published in @ACS_AMI https://t.co/PeL30P1AL3
Congrats to the team and Chang Chen, currently doing a PhD with us! blue 0 barriers fast flow, red 6 barriers slow flow

And of course I should not forget @sylvia_brugman who added further excitement to the story through zebrafish experiments!

[Siddharth Deshpande @SiddhuLab]

Our work on liquid crystals as biosensors is now online in @ACS_AMI! Look at these beauties rapidly switch their colour in response to amphiphiles. We show lipid and fatty acid sensing both in vitro and in live zebrafish!

A new twist on using the biopolymer actin and condensates to form biocompatible synthetic cell containers. A nice news article on the recent actinosome pre-print by @SiddhuLab and @ketanganar.

@fabaiwu @NatureMicrobiol Congrats Fabai!!

[Siddharth Deshpande @SiddhuLab]

@SabinaCaneva @ERC_Research Awesome news Sabina!! Congrats!

[Siddharth Deshpande @SiddhuLab]

@DrMikeBooth Thanks!

[Siddharth Deshpande @SiddhuLab]

Very happy to receive the NWO-XS grant! A nice end-of-the-year bonus for the lab and a great way to start the vacation! We want to sub-compartmentalize synthetic cells, which is not a bad idea I think 😉 Thank you @NWO_Science https://t.co/guSYQaLK4R

[Siddharth Deshpande @SiddhuLab]

@cees_dekker @NWO_Science Thank you Cees!

[Trends in Biotechnology @TrendsinBiotech]

Our January issue is online! Microbial soil inoculants (@DrMicroWill), lab evolution on a chip (@SiddhuLab @MIB_WUR), adipose tissue engineering (@Khoonono @Tim_WoodfieldNZ), bioelectronic sensing (@_annamariapappa @biochemist_hero) and more: https://t.co/UNHPR38RNU

[Siddharth Deshpande @SiddhuLab]

@WiekePot @WUR Was really fun indeed! 🙂

[Siddharth Deshpande @SiddhuLab]

Check out our work on building biosensors using pretty liquid crystal droplets! We detect amphiphile-specific color response and even tested it in vivo! Fantastic work by @lwhonaker and special thanks to @sylvia_brugman for feeding zebrafish our sensors!
