Abstract
Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) have been recognized for their applications in extraction, separation, purification, and enrichment of (bio)molecules and cells. Recently, their unique ability to create aqueous-aqueous interfaces through phase separation and the characteristics of these interfaces have created new opportunities in biomedical applications. In this review, we summarize recent progress in understanding the dynamics at aqueous-aqueous interfaces, and in developing interface-assisted design of artificial cells and cyto-mimetic materials, fabrication of cyto- A nd bio-compatible microparticles, cell micropatterning, 3D bioprinting, and microfluidic separation of cells and biomolecules. We also discuss the challenges and perspectives to leverage the unique characteristics of ATPSs and their interfaces in broader applications. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2020.
