Delighted to share my first first author paper, where we realized multi-μm membrane-like shells made entirely of DNA! Huge thanks to co-first author Christoph without whom this wouldn't be possible. This was born from his side-project involving Dipids, stay tuned for the soon-to-be-published paper!
