Abstract
Polymer nanocapsules with hydrophobic cores are promising candidates for nanoreactors to carry out (bio)chemical reactions mimicking the performance of natural cellular systems. Their architecture allows reagents to be encapsulated in the cores enabling reactions to proceed in confined environments in a controlled, and efficient manner. Polysaccharide-shell oil-core nanocapsules are proposed here as facile mergeable nanoreactors. Spontaneous fusion of oppositely charged polysaccharide capsules is demonstrated for the first time. Such capsules are formed and easily loaded with reagents by nanoemulsification of an aqueous solution of hydrophobically modified polysaccharides (chitosan, hyaluronate) and oleic acid with dissolved desired hydrophobic compounds. Efficient fusion of the formed nanocapsules dispersed in an aqueous medium at optimized conditions (pH, ionic strength) is followed using fluorescence microscopy by labeling both their cores and shells with fluorescent dyes. As a proof of concept, a model fluorogenic synthesis is also realized by fusing the capsules containing separated reagents and the catalyst. The nanocapsules and fusion process developed here establish a platform for realization of versatile reactions in a confined environment including model studies on biologically relevant processes taking place in natural systems.

The investigation of MCPs may promote the application of soft nanomaterials in biomedicine. This Review seeks to highlight the recent advances of the design principles, synthetic strategies, and biomedical applications of MCPs. The compartmentalization types including chemical, physical, and hybrid compartmentalization are discussed. Subsequently, the design and controlled synthesis of MCPs by the self-assembly of amphiphilic polymers, double emulsification, coprecipitation, microfluidics and particle assembly, etc. are summarized. Furthermore, the diverse applications of MCPs in programmed delivery of various cargoes and biological applications including cancer therapy, antimicrobials, and regulation of blood glucose levels are highlighted. Finally, future perspectives of MCPs from the aspects of controlled synthesis and applications are proposed.

Abstract
Compartmentalization is a crucial feature of a natural cell, manifested in cell membrane and inner lumen. Inspired by the cellular structure, multicompartment polymersomes (MCPs), including membrane-compartmentalized polymersomes and lumen-compartmentalized polymersomes (polymersomes-in-polymersomes), have aroused great expectations for biological applications such as biocatalysis and cell mimics in the past decades. Compared with traditional polymersomes, MCPs have advantages in encapsulating multiple enzymes separately for multistep enzymatic cascade reactions. In this review, first, the design principles and preparation methods of membrane-compartmentalized and lumen-compartmentalized polymersomes are summarized. Next, recent advances of MCPs as nanoreactors and cell mimics to mimic subcellular organelles or artificial cells are discussed. Finally, the future research directions of MCPs are prospected.

Abstract
Multicompartment structures have the potential for biomedical applications because they can act as multifunctional systems and provide simultaneous delivery of drugs and diagnostics agents of different types. Moreover, some of them mimic biological cells to some extent with organelles as separate sub-compartments. This article analyses multicompartment colloidal structures with smaller sub-units covered with lipid or polymer membranes that provide additional protection for the encapsulated substances. Vesosomes with small vesicles encapsulated in the inner pools of larger liposomes are the most studied systems to date. Dendrimer molecules are enclosed by a lipid bilayer shell in dendrosomes. Capsosomes, polymersomes-in-polymer capsules, and cubosomes-in-polymer capsules are composed of sub-compartments encapsulated within closed multilayer polymer membranes. Janus or Cerberus emulsions contain droplets composed of two or three phases: immiscible oils in O/W emulsions and aqueous polymer or salt solutions that are separated into two or three phases and form connected droplets in W/O emulsions. In more cases, the external surface of engulfed droplets in Janus or Cerberus emulsions is covered with a lipid or polymer monolayer. eLiposomes with emulsion droplets encapsulated into a bilayer shell have been given little attention so far, but they have very great prospects. In addition to nanoemulsion droplets, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers and inorganic nanoparticles can be loaded into eLiposomes. Molecular engineering of the external membrane allows the creation of ligand-targeted and stimuli-responsive multifunctional systems. As a result, the efficacy of drug delivery can be significantly enhanced.

Abstract
Polymersomes are vesicular nanostructures enclosed by a bilayer-membrane self-assembled from amphiphilic block copolymers, which exhibit higher stability compared with their biological analogues (e.g. liposomes). Due to their versatility, polymersomes have found various applications in different research fields such as drug delivery, nanomedicine, biological nanoreactors, and artificial cells. However, polymersomes prepared with high molecular weight components typically display low permeability to molecules and ions. It hence remains a major challenge to balance the opposing features of robustness and permeability of polymersomes. In this review, we focus on the design and strategies for fabricating permeable polymersomes, including polymersomes with intrinsic permeability, the formation of nanopores in the membrane bilayers by protein insertion, and the construction of stimuli-responsive polymersomes. Then, we highlight the applications of permeable polymersomes in the fields of biomimetic nanoreactors, artificial cells and organelles, and nanomedicine, to underline the challenges in the development of polymersomes as soft matter with biomedical utilities.

Abstract
Self-assembled compartments from nanoscale components are found in all life forms. Their characteristic dimensions are in 50-1000 nm scale, typically assembled from a variety of bioorganic "building blocks". Among the various functions that these mesoscale compartments carry out, protection of the content from the environment is central. Finding synthetic pathways to similarly complex and functional particles from technologically friendly inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) is needed for a multitude of biomedical, biochemical, and biotechnological processes. Here, it is shown that FeS2 NPs stabilized by l-cysteine self-assemble into multicompartment supraparticles (mSPs). The NPs initially produce ≈55 nm concave assemblies that reconfigure into ≈75 nm closed mSPs with ≈340 interconnected compartments with an average size of ≈5 nm. The intercompartmental partitions and mSP surface are formed primarily from FeS2 and Fe2 O3 NPs, respectively. The intermediate formation of cup-like particles enables encapsulation of biological cargo. This capability is demonstrated by loading mSPs with DNA and subsequent transfection of mammalian cells. Also it is found that the temperature stability of the DNA cargo is enhanced compared to the traditional delivery vehicles. These findings demonstrate that biomimetic compartmentalized particles can be used to successfully encapsulate and enhance temperature stability of the nucleic acid cargo for a variety of bioapplications.

Abstract
Polymersomes possess the self-assembly vesicular structure similar to liposomes. Although a variety of comparisons between polymersomes and liposomes in the aspects of physical properties, preparation and applications have been elaborated in many studies, few focus on their differences in drug encapsulation, delivery and release in vitro and in vivo. In the present work, we have provided a modified direct hydration method to encapsulate anti-cancer drug paclitaxel (PTX) into PEG-b-PCL constituted polymersomes (PTX@PS). In addition to advantages including narrow particle size distribution, high colloid stability and moderate drug-loading efficiency, we find that the loaded drug aggregate in small clusters and reside through the polymersome membrane, representing a unique core-satellite structure which might facilitate the sustained drug release. Compared with commercial liposomal PTX formulation (Lipusu®), PTX@PS exhibited superb tumor cell killing ability underlain by multiple pro-apoptotic mechanisms. Moreover, endocytic process of PTX@PS significantly inhibits drug transporter P-gp expression which could be largely activated by free drug diffusion. In glioma mice models, it has also confirmed that PTX@PS remarkably eradicate tumors, which renders polymersomes as a promising alternative to liposomes as drug carriers in clinic.

Abstract
The bottom-up assembly of biological and chemical components opens exciting opportunities to engineer artificial vesicular systems for applications with previously unmet requirements. The modular combination of scaffolds and functional building blocks enables the engineering of complex systems with biomimetic or new-to-nature functionalities. Inspired by the compartmentalized organization of cells and organelles, lipid or polymer vesicles are widely used as model membrane systems to investigate the translocation of solutes and the transduction of signals by membrane proteins. The bottom-up assembly and functionalization of such artificial compartments enables full control over their composition and can thus provide specifically optimized environments for synthetic biological processes. This review aims to inspire future endeavors by providing a diverse toolbox of molecular modules, engineering methodologies, and different approaches to assemble artificial vesicular systems. Important technical and practical aspects are addressed and selected applications are presented, highlighting particular achievements and limitations of the bottom-up approach. Complementing the cutting-edge technological achievements, fundamental aspects are also discussed to cater to the inherently diverse background of the target audience, which results from the interdisciplinary nature of synthetic biology. The engineering of proteins as functional modules and the use of lipids and block copolymers as scaffold modules for the assembly of functionalized vesicular systems are explored in detail. Particular emphasis is placed on ensuring the controlled assembly of these components into increasingly complex vesicular systems. Finally, all descriptions are presented in the greater context of engineering valuable synthetic biological systems for applications in biocatalysis, biosensing, bioremediation, or targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
In nature, biochemical reactions often take place in confined spaces, as typically exemplified by cells. As numerous cellular reactors can be integrated to maintain the living system, researchers have made constant efforts to construct cell-like structures for achieving similar transformations in vitro. Micro/nano reactors engineered by polymers and colloids are becoming popular and being applied in many fields, especially there has been an increasing trend toward constructing metal-organic framework (MOF) micro/nano reactors with the thriving of MOF nanotechnologies. Because of the uniform pores of MOFs, the transmission of substances can be regulated more accurately. Along with properties of large specific surface area, functional diversity and precise control of the particle size, MOFs are also ideal platforms for building distinct microenvironments for biological substances. Compared with traditional polymersomes and colloidosomes, the unique characteristics of MOFs render them potent micro/nano reactor shell materials, mimicking cells for applications in enzymatic catalysis, sensing, nanotherapy, vaccine, biodegradation, etc. This review highlights recent signs of progress on the design of MOF micro/nano reactors and their applications in biology, discusses the existing problems, and prospects their promising properties for smarter multifunctional applications.

Abstract
The challenge of effective integration and use of artificial organelles with orthogonal-responsive membranes and their communication in eukaryotic protocells is to understand the intrinsic membrane characteristics. Here, a novel photo-crosslinked and pH-responsive polymersome (Psome B) with 2-(N,N'-diisopropylamino)ethyl units in the membrane and its respective Avidin-Psome B hybrids, are reported as good candidates for artificial organelles. Biotinylated (macro)molecules are able to dock and diffuse into Avidin-Psome B to carry out biological activity in a pH- and size-dependent manner. Combined with another polymersome (Psome A) with 2-(N,N'-diethylamino)ethyl units in the membrane, two different pH-responsive polymersomes for mimicking different organelles in one protocell system are reported. The different intrinsic docking and diffusion processes of cargo (macro)molecules through the membranes of coexisting Psome A and B are pH-dependent as confirmed using pH titration-dynamic light scattering (DLS). Psome A and B show separated "open", "closing/opening", and "closed" states at various pH ranges with different membrane permeability. The results pave the way for the construction of multicompartmentalized protocells with controlled communications between different artificial organelles.

Abstract
Coacervate microdroplets, formed via liquid–liquid phase separation, have been extensively explored as a compartment model for the construction of artificial cells or organelles. In this study, coacervate-in-coacervate multi-compartment protocells were constructed using four polyelectrolytes, in which carboxymethyl-dextran and diethylaminoethyl-dextran were deposited on the surface of as-prepared polydiallyldimethyl ammonium/deoxyribonucleic acid coacervate microdroplets through layer-by-layer assembly. The resulting multi-compartment protocells were composed from two immiscible coacervate phases with distinct physical and chemical properties. Molecule transport experiments indicated that small molecules could diffuse between two coacervate phases and that macromolecular enzymes could be retained. Furthermore, a competitive cascade enzymatic reaction of glucose oxidase/horseradish peroxidase–catalase was performed in the multi-compartment protocells. The different enzyme organization and productions of H2O2 led to a distinct polymerization of dopamine. The spatial organization of different enzymes in immiscible coacervate phases, the distinct reaction fluxes between coacervate phases, and the enzymatic cascade network led to distinguishable signal generation and product outputs. The development of this multi-compartment structure could pave the way toward the spatial organization of multi-enzyme cascades and provide new ideas for the design of organelle-containing artificial cells. A coacervate-in-coacervate micro-architecture is constructed as a multi-compartment protocell model, in which a multi-enzyme cascade is spatially organized for competitive enzymatic reactions.![]()

Abstract
The ability of living organisms to perform structure, energy, and information-related processes for molecular self-assembly through compartmentalization and chemical transformation can possibly be mimicked via artificial cell models. Recent progress in the development of various types of functional microcompartmentalized ensembles that can imitate rudimentary aspects of living cells has refocused attention on the important question of how inanimate systems can transition into living matter. Hence, herein, the most recent advances in the construction of protein-bounded microcompartments (proteinosomes), which have been exploited as a versatile synthetic chassis for integrating a wide range of functional components and biochemical machineries, are critically summarized. The techniques developed for fabricating various types of proteinosomes are discussed, focusing on the significance of how chemical information, substance transportation, enzymatic-reaction-based metabolism, and self-organization can be integrated and recursively exploited in constructed ensembles. Therefore, proteinosomes capable of exhibiting gene-directed protein synthesis, modulated membrane permeability, spatially confined membrane-gated catalytic reaction, internalized cytoskeletal-like matrix assembly, on-demand compartmentalization, and predatory-like chemical communication in artificial cell communities are specially highlighted. These developments are expected to bridge the gap between materials science and life science, and offer a theoretical foundation for developing life-inspired assembled materials toward various applications.

Abstract
In nature, various specific reactions only occur in spatially controlled environments. Cell compartment and subcompartments act as the support required to preserve the bio-specificity and functionality of the biological content, by affording absolute segregation. Inspired by this natural perfect behavior, bottom-up approaches are on focus to develop artificial cell-like structures, crucial for understanding relevant bioprocesses and interactions or to produce tailored solutions in the field of therapeutics and diagnostics. In this review, we discuss the benefits of constructing polymer-based single and multicompartments (capsules and giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs)), equipped with biomolecules as to mimic cells. In this respect, we outline key examples of how such structures have been designed from scratch, namely, starting from the application-oriented selection and synthesis of the amphiphilic block copolymer. We then present the state-of-the-art techniques for assembling the supramolecular structure while permitting the encapsulation of active compounds and the incorporation of peptides/membrane proteins, essential to support in situ reactions, e.g., to replicate intracellular signaling cascades. Finally, we briefly discuss important features that these compartments offer and how they could be applied to engineer the next generation of microreactors, therapeutic solutions, and cell models.

Abstract
Hierarchically self-assembled structures are common in biology, but it is often challenging to design and fabricate synthetic analogs. The archetypal cell is defined by hierarchically organized multicompartmentalized structures with boundaries that delineate the interior from exterior environments and is an inspiration for complex functional materials. Here, we have demonstrated an approach to the design and construction of a nested protein cage system that can additionally incorporate the packing of other functional macromolecules and exhibit some of the features of a minimal synthetic cell-like material. We have demonstrated a strategy for controlled co-packaging of subcompartments, ferritin (Fn) cages, together with active cellobiose-hydrolyzing β-glycosidase enzyme macromolecules, CelB, inside the sequestered volume of the bacteriophage P22 capsid. Using controlled in vitro assembly, we were able to modulate the stoichiometry of Fn cages and CelB encapsulated inside the P22 to control the degree of compartmentalization. The co-encapsulated enzyme CelB showed catalytic activity even when packaged at high total macromolecular concentrations comparable to an intracellular environment. This approach could be used as a model to create synthetic protein-based protocells that can confine smaller functionalized proto-organelles and additional macromolecules to support a range of biochemical reactions.

Abstract
One approach towards the creation of bottom-up synthetic biological systems of higher complexity relies on the subcompartmentalization of synthetic cell structures using artificially generated organelles — roughly mimicking the architecture of eukaryotic cells. Organelles create dedicated chemical environments for specific synthesis tasks — they separate incompatible processes from each other and help to create or maintain chemical gradients that drive other chemical processes. Artificial organelles have been used to compartmentalize enzyme reactions, to generate chemical fuels via photosynthesis and oxidative phosphorylation, and they have been utilized to spatially organize cell-free gene expression reactions. In this short review article, we provide an overview of recent developments in this field, which involve a wide variety of compartmentalization strategies ranging from lipid and polymer membrane systems to membraneless compartmentalization via coacervation.

Abstract
Giant vesicles composed of phospholipids and amphiphilic block copolymers are useful for biomimetic drug delivery, for biophysical experiments, and for creating synthetic cells. Here, we report that large numbers of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) can be formed on a broad range of fabrics composed of entangled cylindrical fibers. We show that fabrics woven from fibers of silk, wool, rayon, nylon, polyester, and fiberglass promote the formation of GUVs and giant polymer vesicles (polymersomes) in aqueous solutions. The result extends significantly previous reports on the formation of GUVs on cellulose paper and cotton fabric. Giant vesicles formed on all the fabrics from lipids with various headgroup charges, chains lengths, and chain saturations. Giant vesicles could be formed from multicomponent lipid mixtures, from extracts of plasma membranes, and from amphiphilic diblock and triblock copolymers, in both low ionic strength and high ionic strength solutions. Intriguingly, statistical characterization using a model lipid, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, revealed that the majority of the fabrics yielded similar average counts of vesicles. Additionally, the vesicle populations obtained from the different fabrics had similar distributions of sizes. Fabrics are ubiquitous in society in consumer, technical, and biomedical applications. The discovery herein that biomimetic GUVs grow on fabrics opens promising new avenues in vesicle-based smart materials design.

Poly(butadiene)- b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PBut2.5- b-PEO1.3) giant polymersomes were prepared using an emulsion-centrifugation method. The impact of a fast decrease of the osmotic pressure inside the lumen of giant PBut- b-PEO vesicles was studied by confocal microscopy. This osmotic imbalance was created by performing the photoinduced polymerization of acrylamide inside these giant polymersomes, mimicking cell-like confinement. Experimental conditions (irradiation time, relative concentration of monomer, and photoinitiator) were optimized to induce the fastest and highest osmotic pressure difference in bulk solution. When confined inside polymersomes with a low permeability membrane made of PBut- b-PEO copolymers, this hyper-osmotic shock induced a fast disruption of the membrane and polymersome burst. These findings, complementary to hypotonic shock approaches previously reported, are demonstrating the versatility and relevance of controlling and modulating osmotic pressure imbalance in self-assembled artificial cell systems and protocells.

Abstract
We report the ability to place a high concentration of liposomes in a confined volume as a multicompartment cluster that mimics biological cells and allows for the modulation of release of encapsulated species. The formation of these coated multicompartmental structures is achieved by first binding liposomes into clusters before encapsulating them within a two-dimensional metal-organic framework composed of tannic acid coordinated with a metal ion. The essential feature is a molecularly thin skin over a ssystem of clustered liposomes in a pouch. The structural features of these pouches are revealed by small-angle scattering and electron microscopy. Through cryogenic electron microscopy, clusters with intact liposomes are observed that appear to be encapsulated within a pouch. Small-angle X-ray scattering shows the emergence of a relatively weak Bragg peak at q = 0.125 Å-1, possibly indicating the attachment of the bilayers of adjacent liposomes. The metal-phenolic network (MPN) forms a nanosized conformal coating around liposome clusters, resulting in the reduced release rate of the encapsulated rhodamine B dye. We further show the possibility of communication between the adjacent nanocompartments in the cluster by demonstrating enhanced energy transfer using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments where the lipophilic donor dye 3,3'-dioctadecyloxacarbocyanine perchlorate (DiO) incorporated within one liposomal compartment transfers energy upon excitation to the lipophilic acceptor dye 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI) in a neighboring liposomal compartment due to their close proximity within the multicompartmental cluster. These observations have significance in adapting these multicompartmental structures that mimic biological cells for cascade reactions and as new depot drug delivery systems.

Abstract
A template-free all-aqueous bulk preparation of robust hollow capsules having a gelatin shell from all-in-water double emulsions is reported. The hot (>40 °C) quaternary system water/polyethylene glycol (PEG)/gelatin/alginate is shown to spontaneously form PEG-in-gelatin-in-PEG double water emulsion droplets having a multinuclear core. These droplets are stable upon cooling below the temperature at which gelatin gelled. In contrast, above the melting temperature of gelatin, multinuclear double emulsion droplets controllably evolve into stable mononuclear yolk (aqueous PEG)-shell (gelatin) capsules dispersed in the aqueous PEG continuous phase. It is demonstrated that the gelatin shell can accommodate negatively charged latex beads and be re-enforced by glutaraldehyde or silica. These capsules are also shown to encapsulate payloads, suggesting possible applications in microencapsulation, drug delivery, and synthetic biology.

Abstract
Fabrication of compartmentalised chemical systems with nested architectures and biomimetic properties has important implications for controlling the positional assembly of functional components, spatiotemporal regulation of enzyme cascades and modelling of proto-organelle behaviour in synthetic protocells. Here, we describe the spontaneous capture of glucose oxidase-containing proteinosomes in pH-sensitive fatty acid micelle coacervate droplets as a facile route to multi-compartmentalised host–guest protocells capable of antagonistic chemical and structural coupling. The nested system functions co-operatively at low-substrate turnover, while high levels of glucose give rise to pH-induced disassembly of the droplets, release of the incarcerated proteinosomes and self-reconfiguration into spatially organised enzymatically active vesicle-in-proteinosome protocells. Co-encapsulation of antagonistic enzymes within the proteinosomes produces a sequence of self-induced capture and host–guest reconfiguration. Taken together, our results highlight opportunities for the fabrication of self-reconfigurable host–guest protocells and provide a step towards the development of protocell populations exhibiting both synergistic and antagonistic modes of interaction. Multi-compartmentalised soft micro-systems are used as models of synthetic protocells. Here, the authors developed nested host–guest protocell constructs capable of self-reconfiguration in response to changes in pH generated by antagonistic modes of enzyme-mediated coupling.

Abstract
Multicompartment microcapsules, with each compartment protected by a distinct stimuli-responsive shell for versatile controlled release, are highly desired for developing new-generation microcarriers. Although many multicompartmental microcapsules have been created, most cannot combine different release styles to achieve flexible programmed sequential release. Here, one-step template synthesis of controllable Trojan-horse-like stimuli-responsive microcapsules is reported with capsule-in-capsule structures from microfluidic quadruple emulsions for diverse programmed sequential release. The nested inner and outer capsule compartments can separately encapsulate different contents, while their two stimuli-responsive hydrogel shells can individually control the content release from each capsule compartment for versatile sequential release. This is demonstrated by using three types of Trojan-horse-like stimuli-responsive microcapsules, with different combinations of release styles for flexible programmed sequential release. The proposed microcapsules provide novel advanced candidates for developing new-generation microcarriers for diverse, efficient applications.

Abstract
Single-cell nanoencapsulation, forming cell-in-shell structures, provides chemical tools for endowing living cells, in a programmed fashion, with exogenous properties that are neither innate nor naturally achievable, such as cascade organic-catalysis, UV filtration, immunogenic shielding, and enhanced tolerance in vitro against lethal factors in real-life settings. Recent advances in the field make it possible to further fine-tune the physicochemical properties of the artificial shells encasing individual living cells, including on-demand degradability and reconfigurability. Many different materials, other than polyelectrolytes, have been utilized as a cell-coating material with proper choice of synthetic strategies to broaden the potential applications of cell-in-shell structures to whole-cell catalysis and sensors, cell therapy, tissue engineering, probiotics packaging, and others. In addition to the conventional "one-time-only" chemical formation of cytoprotective, durable shells, an approach of autonomous, dynamic shellation has also recently been attempted to mimic the naturally occurring sporulation process and to make the artificial shell actively responsive and dynamic. Here, the recent development of synthetic strategies for formation of cell-in-shell structures along with the advanced shell properties acquired is reviewed. Demonstrated applications, such as whole-cell biocatalysis and cell therapy, are discussed, followed by perspectives on the field of single-cell nanoencapsulation.

Abstract
Polymer vesicles, i.e. polymersomes (PS), present unique nanostructures with an interior aqueous core that can encapsulate multiple independent cargos concurrently. However, the sequential release of such co-loaded actives remains a challenge. Here, we report the rational design and synthesis of oxidation-responsive shell-crosslinked PS with capability for the controlled, sequential release of encapsulated hydrophilic molecules and hydrogels. Amphiphilic brush block copolymers poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-b-poly(oligo(propylene sulfide) methacrylate) (POEGMA-POPSMA) were prepared to fabricate PS via self-assembly in aqueous solution. As a type of unique drug delivery vehicle, the interior of the PS was co-loaded with hydrophilic molecules and water-soluble poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) conjugates. Due to the thermosensitivity of PNIPAM, PNIPAM conjugates within the PS aqueous interior underwent a phase transition to form hydrogels in situ when the temperature was raised above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of PNIPAM. Via control of the overall shell permeability by oxidation, we realized the sequential release of two water-soluble payloads based on the assumption that hydrogels have much smaller membrane permeability than that of molecular cargos. The ability to control the timing of release of molecular dyes and PNIPAM-based hydrogels was also observed within live cells. Furthermore, leakage of hydrogels from the PS was effectively alleviated in comparison to molecular cargos, which would facilitate intracellular accumulation and prolonged retention of hydrogels within the cell cytoplasm. Thus, we demonstrate that the integration of responsive hydrogels into PS with crosslinkable membranes provides a facile and versatile technique to control the stability and release of water-soluble cargos for drug delivery purposes.

Abstract
Cell membrane asymmetry is a common structural feature of all biological cells. Researchers have tried for decades to better study its formation and its function in membrane-regulated phenomena. In particular, there has been increasing interest in developing synthetic asymmetric membrane models in the laboratory, with the aim of studying basic physical chemistry properties that may be correlated to a relevant biological function. The present article aims to summarize the main presented approaches to prepare asymmetric membranes, which are most often made from lipids, polymers, or a combination of both.

Abstract
Generating artificial pancreatic beta cells by using synthetic materials to mimic glucose-responsive insulin secretion in a robust manner holds promise for improving clinical outcomes in people with diabetes. Here, we describe the construction of artificial beta cells (AβCs) with a multicompartmental 'vesicles-in-vesicle' superstructure equipped with a glucose-metabolism system and membrane-fusion machinery. Through a sequential cascade of glucose uptake, enzymatic oxidation and proton efflux, the AβCs can effectively distinguish between high and normal glucose levels. Under hyperglycemic conditions, high glucose uptake and oxidation generate a low pH (<5.6), which then induces steric deshielding of peptides tethered to the insulin-loaded inner small liposomal vesicles. The peptides on the small vesicles then form coiled coils with the complementary peptides anchored on the inner surfaces of large vesicles, thus bringing the membranes of the inner and outer vesicles together and triggering their fusion and insulin 'exocytosis'.

Abstract
Lipid membrane asymmetry plays an important role in cell function and activity, being for instance a relevant signal of its integrity. The development of artificial asymmetric membranes thus represents a key challenge. In this context, an emulsion-centrifugation method is developed to prepare giant vesicles with an asymmetric membrane composed of an inner monolayer of poly(butadiene)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PBut-b-PEO) and outer monolayer of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC). The formation of a complete membrane asymmetry is demonstrated and its stability with time is followed by measuring lipid transverse diffusion. From fluorescence spectroscopy measurements, the lipid half-life is estimated to be 7.5 h. Using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching technique, the diffusion coefficient of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(lissamine rhodamine B sulfonyl) (DOPE-rhod, inserted into the POPC leaflet) is determined to be about D = 1.8 ± 0.50 μm2 s-1 at 25 °C and D = 2.3 ± 0.7 μm2 s-1 at 37 °C, between the characteristic values of pure POPC and pure polymer giant vesicles and in good agreement with the diffusion of lipids in a variety of biological membranes. These results demonstrate the ability to prepare a cell-like model system that displays an asymmetric membrane with transverse and translational diffusion properties similar to that of biological cells.
