DIALECT enables synthetic cells to communicate with mammalian cells via DNA-programmed ligand release and engineered receptors, achieving specific signaling and logic gate functions.

This paper introduces DNA-GUARD, a molecular access-control system for DNA data storage that restricts PCR-based retrieval and complements encryption.

This paper develops a scalable synthetic communication platform for mammalian cells using orthogonal receptors and coiled-coil peptides to enable logic gate computations in cell consortia.

This paper develops thermoresponsive microcapsules for repeated random access of DNA data, demonstrating improved performance over non-compartmentalized storage.

The paper develops DNA-encoded sender-receiver architectures using microfluidic trapping arrays and light-activated DNA strand displacement to study diffusion-based signaling and spatial integration of chemical communication.

This paper introduces a platform for distributed DNA-based communication in synthetic protocells using DNA strand-displacement circuits.
