Artificial membraneless compartments in Escherichia coli
Synthetic formation of a type of subcellular membraneless compartment in E. coli upon overexpression of disordered structural proteins such as spider silk and resilin.
A tissue-engineered uterus supports live births in rabbits
This study has been 18 years in the making and is the longest study of my career. Itβs a great example of the patience needed to see the science through from beginning to end.
Internet of Bodies (IoB)- Using CRISPR to electrically connect with and control the genome
Just like Internet of Things (IoT), IoB refers to access and control of human body via internet. Here, we detail how CRISPR can be used to electrically connect with the genome and as a proof of concept display control over transcriptional informational networks inside E. coli and Salmonella.
