A Gene-Free Minimal System for Synthetic Quorum Sensing in Protocell Communities

Synthetic communication networks are key to engineering life-like behaviors in artificial cells. Inspired by natural quorum sensing, we developed a coacervate-based system that exhibits quorum-sensing-like communication, driven by an autocatalytic […]
