Abstract

In article number 1906259, Petra Schwille and co-workers demonstrate 3D printing of a microscale device made of a biocompatible protein hydrogel that can be used to induce reversible shape changes in trapped vesicles by pH-stimulus. These soft material-based cages provide an artificial microenvironment, which may in the future allow us to investigate how synthetic cells react to and interact with external mechanical cues.
