The paper designs and evaluates recombinase-based genetic programs in human cells that simulate a for-loop counting to three, demonstrating heritable memory and sequential gene expression.

The paper introduces helixCAM, a platform for engineering specific cell-cell interactions in bacteria and human cells using coiled-coil peptides, enabling multicellular assembly applications.

The paper introduces a computational method to design genetic circuits that control the formation of multicellular shapes from a single cell in human cells.
