Budding-like division of all-aqueous emulsion droplets modulated by networks of protein nanofibrils

The cytoskeleton, a network of fibrils, controls how cells divide. Here, the authors show that synthetic protein fibrils added to an emulsion can control the division of droplets and that this method can be used to control the morphology of microparticles during biomaterial preparation.
