Gene expression noise is reduced in communicating synthetic cell populations

This study shows communication in synthetic cell populations reduces gene expression noise and variability, improving robustness in multicellular systems.

Cell-free quorum sensing to drive feedback and communication within populations of droplet interface bilayers

This study demonstrates intercellular communication and feedback in synthetic multicellular systems using cell-free expression systems in droplet interface bilayers.

Engineered acetoacetate-inducible whole-cell biosensors based on the AtoSC two-component system

The paper constructs acetoacetate-sensitive whole-cell biosensors using the AtoSC two-component system and demonstrates their functionality in E. coli.
