This paper demonstrates that dried cell-free protein synthesis reactions can withstand harsh conditions during polymer casting, enabling the creation of functional materials with spatially patterned genetic capabilities.

The paper shows lyophilized cell-free systems can tolerate organic solvents, enabling new applications like polymer-based delivery.

This paper investigates the use of silk fibroin as an additive in cell-free protein synthesis, finding it increases productivity but does not protect against drying and inhibits hydrogel formation.
