Abstract

Uniform Cell-Sized Microgels In article number 2302193, Miho Yanagisawa, Akihisa Shioi, and co-workers report on spontaneous formation of uniform cell-sized microgels inside a glass capillary. By adapting aqueous polymer solution containing DNA, droplets entrapping DNA are generated in a self-organized manner through micro phase-separation, and these droplets are transformed into gel state by decreasing the temperature. The microgels are easily extruded into bulk water, maintaining their size.
