Other potential areas of applications are artificial cell systems. (cemag.us)
The winner of the Cell and Molecular Biology category, Mijo Simunovic (Rockefeller University, USA) spoke about how he took part in discovering a new pathway by which signaling proteins and certain pathogens enter cells and then constructed artificial cell membranes that he manipulated using lasers and microscopes to understand the process.
