Like modern-day high performance machines, cells are constantly monitoring signals in their environment in order to “decide” on a course of action such as growth or movement. The signals are ...
A fundamental goal of synthetic biology is to predictably and efficiently reprogram cells to perform computations and carry out specific biological tasks 1. Cells genetically engineered with ...
Recent discoveries by two research teams in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University are advancing the field of synthetic biology. Assistant Professor Xiaojun Tian and ...
Genetic circuit on a single DNA molecule as autonomous dissipative nanodevice. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-45186-2. In a new Nature Communications study, researchers ...
RESEARCHERS at MIT have developed a synthetic gene circuit that triggers the body’s immune system to attack cancers when it detects signs of the disease. The circuit, which will only activate a ...
There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it takes for cells to behave in desired ways — for example, getting them to ...
