Reversible and Large‐Scale Cytomimetic Vesicle Aggregation: Light‐Responsive Host–Guest Interactions

Sleeping giants: As a mimic of cell agglomeration to form tissues, a novel vesicle aggregation process with the characteristic advantages of being highly efficient, light-responsive, reversible, large-scale, and stable is reported. Giant hyperbranched polymer vesicles (5–10 μm) are used as the building blocks (see scheme), and the vesicle aggregates can assemble and disassemble with alternating UV and Vis irradiation.
