Recent advances in engineering bottom-up synthetic cells have created powerful compartmentalized biochemical reactors with cell-like abilities. To push the boundaries of the collective capabilities of synthetic cells and unlock biomedical applications, biomimicry of signaling and communication is imperative. This Review highlights state-of-the-art communication mechanisms between synthetic cells and discusses potential applications.
