Randomness inside cells can decide whether a cancer returns after chemotherapy or whether an infection survives antibiotics.

Cancer therapy and synthetic biology are converging around a shared problem that has long frustrated oncologists and ...

The broad-host-range pS4 plasmid harboring the inverter circuit was introduced into 6 distinct hosts from the Gammaproteobacteria class. Broad host range (BHR) synthetic biology aims to capitalize on ...

Researchers have developed a new technology that improves the precision and integration density of synthetic genetic circuits. Professor Jongmin Kim's research team at POSTECH developed a new ...

Strategies to program cellular behaviors are central in synthetic biology. Scientists have developed many synthetic genetic circuits that allow engineered cells to produce therapeutic agents on demand ...

The term “integrated circuit” is no longer limited to computer chips, and the term “logic board” is no longer limited to computer chassis. These terms are being applied to biological systems by ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 11 (March 15, 2022), pp. 1-10 (10 pages) Mathematical modeling has become a major tool to guide the ...

Synthetic biology experiments suggest a “MultiFate” model for how genetically identical cells become the many different types found in complex organisms like us. The human body contains more than 200 ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Using genes as interchangeable parts, synthetic biologists design cellular circuits that can perform new functions, such as sensing environmental conditions. However, the complexity ...

Cells respond to intracellular and environmental cues through complex regulatory gene networks. Using synthetic biology approaches, researchers recreate these natural gene networks to discover their ...
