Self-assembly of photonic crystals by controlling the nucleation and growth of DNA-coated colloids

Alexander Hensley et al.

Summary: DNA-coated colloids can self-assemble into various crystal structures, and we have used microfluidics to quantify the kinetics of crystallization. Our study shows that classical theories can accurately predict nucleation and growth rates, and we have successfully designed large single crystals with specific structural coloration.

Phase-specific RNA accumulation and duplex thermodynamics in multiphase coacervate models for membraneless organelles

Saehyun Choi et al.

Summary: Research has found significant differences in interactions between RNA and adjacent phases of decapeptide-based multiphase model membraneless organelles. Single- and double-stranded RNAs preferentially accumulate in different phases within the same droplet. This discovery is important for understanding and designing functional artificial membraneless organelles.

Studying phase separation in confinement

Siddharth Deshpande et al.

Summary: Cells organize their interior through membrane-bound organelles and by forming membraneless condensates through liquid-liquid phase separation. Studying this process in artificial compartments can provide valuable insights into cellular biology and the design of synthetic cells. In vitro studies of coacervation are important for understanding cellular biology and for designing synthetic cells.

Spatially uniform dynamics in equilibrium colloidal gels

Enrico Lattuada et al.

Summary: DNA nanostar gels are ideal model systems for biomedical applications and testing the physics of equilibrium colloidal gels. They can form either equilibrium or phase separation gels depending on the nanostar concentration, with equilibrium gels showing absence of aging and remarkable spatially uniform dynamics in contrast to the heterogeneity displayed by phase separation gels.

Phase behavior of ASDs based on hydroxypropyl cellulose

Christian Luebbert et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the application of novel polymeric carriers in improving the bioavailability of poorly-soluble drug candidates, focusing on HPC as a candidate for ASD production and investigating its glass transition properties and drug stability. It was found that low-molecular weight HPC helps prevent drug crystallization, and critical drug loads above which amorphous phase separation and crystallization occur in ASDs can be predicted.

Label-Free Quantitative Analysis of Coacervates via 3D Phase Imaging

Yuri Hong et al.

Summary: The study introduces a direct imaging-based method using real-time 3D quantitative phase imaging to quantify coacervate, which retrieves protein concentration and volume by measuring the refractive index tomograms of individual coacervates. Compared to conventional fluorescence techniques, the method shows more accurate detections of protein concentrations in droplets. Its simplicity, directness, real-time capability, and quantitative analysis make it potentially versatile in protein analyses and quantifications for coacervation studies in vitro and in vivo.
