Cooperation of mother and daughter vesicles, which are self-assembled from an ill-defined hyperbranched copolymer, leads to fission of the daughter membrane in a cytomimetic process (see picture; red: mother vesicle, green: daughter vesicle). This is the first example of giant polymer vesicles (5–200 μm) being used as model membranes.
