Phage therapy is emerging as a promising strategy against the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance, yet phage and bacteria are incredibly diverse and idiosyncratic in their interactions with one another. Clinical applications of phage therapy o...
Although synthetic biology can produce valuable chemicals in a renewable manner, its progress is still hindered by a lack of predictive capabilities. Media optimization is a critical, and often overlooked, process which is essential to obtain the tit...
Synthetic cells (SCs), developed through bottom-up synthetic biology, hold great potential for biomedical applications, with the promise of replacing malfunctioning natural cells and treating diseases with spatiotemporal control. Currently, most SC s...
UNLABELLED: In the field of synthetic biology, the engineering of synthetic promoters that outperform their natural counterparts is of paramount importance, which can optimize the expression of exogenous genes, enhance the efficiency of metabolic pat...
It is a vital step to identify the enzyme turnover number (kcat) in synthetic biology and early-stage drug discovery. Recently, deep learning methods have achieved inspiring process to predict kcat with the development of multi-species enzyme-substra...
CRISPR-Cas technology has revolutionized biology by enabling precise DNA and RNA edits with ease. However, significant challenges remain for translating this technology into clinical applications. Traditional protein engineering methods, such as rati...
