Cellular biocatalysts hold great promise for the synthesis of difficult to achieve compounds, such as complex active molecules. Whole‐cell biocatalysts can be programmed through genetic circuits to be more efficient, but ...

Over the past decades, there have been numerous outbreaks, including parasitic, fungal, bacterial, and viral infections, worldwide. The rate at which infectious diseases are emerging is disproportionate to the rate of ...

Interpreting signals coming from the surrounding environment and responding to these stimuli by adjusting physical or metabolic state is the most fundamental ability of living organisms. Repurposing these natural abilities ...

Therapeutic molecules or biologically active agents used in the treatments of disorders have been manufactured employing chemical synthesis methods with high costs and limited accessibility. Even though this approach to ...

Biocompatibility assessment of nanomaterials has been of great interest due to their potential toxicity. However, conventional biocompatibility tests fall short of providing a fast toxicity report. We developed a whole ...

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease are cognitively and physically debilitating and progressive diseases due to the gradual and irreversible loss of discrete ...

Biological formation of inorganic material occurs in most organisms in nature. Various biomolecules such as polypeptides, lipids and metabolites are responsible for biomineralization in cells and tissues. Biological synthesis ...

Biological systems are programmable by their nature. With using the abilities of these systems, scientists have designed, engineered and repurposed living machines for various tasks including biological sensing, recording ...
