Abstract

To bridge soft biological materials and hard inorganic materials is an interdisciplinary scientific challenge. Despite of experimental difficulties, the deposition of native biological membranes on supports is a straightforward strategy. This review provides an overview of advances in the fabrication and characterization of native biological membranes on planar polymer supports and micro-particles.
