Abstract
We report on microfluidic strategies to generate several multi-compartment membrane-based
structures, including droplet interface bilayer networks and multi-compartment vesicles. These
developments allow the current status quo— where microdroplets are used as isolated vessels— to be
changed. By linking droplets together with lipid membranes, higher order systems can be generated, with
particular ramifications for bottom-up synthetic biology and for functional droplet-based microreactors
and biodevices.
