Capsosomes with “Free‐Floating” Liposomal Subcompartments

Biological cells are able to perform multiple complex reactions within confi ned environments, owing to their structures comprising internal subcompartments (e.g., cell organelles). [ 1 ] Artifi cial cells, [ 2–4 ] although far less complex than their biological counterparts, can exhibit a hierarchical structure with a large number of subcompartments confi ned within a structurally stable scaffold. Such systems are engineered for therapeutic cell mimicry via the encapsulation and/or conversion of biologically active materials. [ 5 ]
