Artificial cells are promising models to study intercellular communications, however, the chemical communication between populations of artificial cells remains underexplored. Here, the authors show the exchange of proteins between distinct populations of coacervate-based artificial cells by regulation of protein affinity and competitive binding with hub protein 14-3-3.
