Highly packed liposome assemblies toward synthetic tissue

This paper presented an approach for preparation of a highly-packed liposome assembly that implemented lipid bilayer-lipid bilayer contact at the interfaces to mimic a cell-cell connection on living tissues. Cell-sized liposomes were closely packed using our previous technique that allowed monodisperse liposomes arrayed on a substrate. We explored the lipid patterning conditions that would provide a packed structure of the liposomes. By further works, we believe that the assembled structure would be useful for a tissue model.
