“…The permeability of the separating membrane itself depends on the physiochemical properties of the amphiphilic building blocks, which can be phospholipids (Bhattacharya, Brea, Niederholtmeyer, & Devaraj, 2019), polypeptides (Schreiber, Huber, & Schiller, 2019; Vogele et al, 2018), and block copolymers (Meng et al, 2005). In addition, a higher degree of control over secretion and interaction with the buffer environment was demonstrated (Debnath et al, 2020; Hilburger, Jacobs, Lewis, Peruzzi, & Kamat, 2019). Facilitation of spatially separated multiâstep enzymatic pathways in separate compartments (Elani, Law, & Ces, 2014) and incorporation of an endomembrane system (internal membrane structures within a cellâsized carrier) to mimic the hierarchical structure of eukaryotic cells is the next step toward mimicking the architecture of a natural cell (Deng, Yelleswarapu, & Huck, 2016; Gopfrich et al, 2018; Tan et al, 2017).…”
