Why can't we get molecular structures of pores formed by antimicrobial peptides? Using optical single-channel recording and single-molecule imaging, our data suggests the pores are stable but individual peptides constantly diffuse in and out. This "dynamic exchange" may explain the structural challenges and points toward new approaches for antimicrobial design. Preprint up at https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.18.677094

Getting artificial cells to divide and self-replicate is hard. Let's cheat! If a water droplet is enough to be an artificial compartment we can control that process directly using digital microfluidics.
