Our data suggests the pores are stable but individual peptides constantly diffuse in and out. This "dynamic exchange" points toward new approaches for antimicrobial design.

Let's cheat! If a water droplet is enough to be an artificial compartment we can control that process directly using digital microfluidics. https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.05.23.65573418 Sep 2025 17:03 +0000at://did:plc:luvz6d6rcg264pm2vbznqlev/app.bsky.feed.post/3lz4tea23ur2r
