A living cell is an autonomous molecular system surrounded by a biological membrane that possesses a soft structure composed of a lipid bilayer. Various biochemical reactions, which have crucial roles in regulating the molecular system, occur in the space surrounded by the cellular membrane or at the interface of the membrane. These reactions rely on various properties of the membrane, such as fluidity, surface charge, and protein interactions (Alberts et al. 2008). Unraveling phenomena specific to such “soft” compartments/interfaces will not only lead to a better understanding of living systems but will also allow the designing of more accurate artificial biosystems.We thus organized a symposium entitled “Utilization of soft compartments/interfaces from nano to macroscale: Exploring the potential of living systems” at the 57th annual meeting of Biophysical Society of Japan (Fig. 1). This symposium focused on soft compartments and interfaces, ie, the inner space of lipid vesicles and the surface of lipid bilayers, at several hierarchical levels, ranging from the molecular to the tissue level. We invited two speakers, Dr. Yuno Natsume and Dr. Kaori Kuribayashi-Shigetomi, and selected three speakers
