Communication between cell-mimics via a diffusive genetic activator. Schematic of the two types of cell-mimics communicating through a distributed genetic activation cascade. Micrographs show a merge of brightfield images with rhodamine B fluorescence in the membranes of activators (magenta) and fluorescence of TetR-sfGFP (green) in the hydrogel nuclei of reporters directly after addition of TX-TL and after 2 h of expression
