Synthetic biology is a research field that combines the investigative nature of biology with
the constructive nature of engineering. Efforts in synthetic biology have largely focused on …

Microbial consortia are ubiquitous in nature and are implicated in processes of great
importance to humans, from environmental remediation and wastewater treatment to …

Global energy demand and environmental concerns have stimulated increasing efforts to
produce carbon-neutral fuels directly from renewable resources. Microbially derived …

To succeed, many cells must alternate between life-styles that permit rapid growth in the
presence of abundant nutrients and ones that enhance survival in the absence of those …

Synthetic biologists engineer complex artificial biological systems to investigate natural
biological phenomena and for a variety of applications. We outline the basic features of …

De novo engineering of gene circuits inside cells is extremely difficult,,,,,,,,, and efforts to
realize predictable and robust performance must deal with noise in gene expression and …

Novel cellular behaviors and characteristics can be obtained by coupling engineered gene
networks to the cell's natural regulatory circuitry through appropriately designed input and …

Molecular communication (MC) and molecular network (MN) are communication paradigms
that use biochemical signaling to achieve information exchange among naturally and …

Synthetic biology is interpreted as the engineering-driven building of increasingly complex
biological entities for novel applications. Encouraged by progress in the design of artificial …

Autonomous oscillations found in gene expression and metabolic, cardiac and neuronal
systems,,, have attracted significant attention both because of their obvious biological roles …
