Cell-free immuno-profiling on a genetically programmed biochip

This paper develops a cell-free biochip platform to profile antibody-antigen interactions and epitope specificity using SARS-CoV-2 antigens and human sera.

Transcription-dependent swelling of a transplanted chromosome in an artificial cell

This study transplants E. coli chromosomes into artificial cells and shows transcription-dependent swelling and condensin-mediated compaction.

Autonomous biogenesis of the entire protein translation machinery excluding ribosomes

The paper demonstrates autonomous biogenesis of the entire protein translation machinery excluding ribosomes by using surface-immobilized DNA brushes to catalyze and concentrate the synthesis of all required components.

A genetic circuit on a single DNA molecule as autonomous dissipative nanodevice

The paper demonstrates a single DNA molecule-based genetic circuit that functions as a dissipative nanodevice by enabling coexpressional localization of proteins.

Decision-making in a synthetic cell: the limits of biological computation

This study shows that decision-making in synthetic cells can shift from slow and precise to rapid and probabilistic by reducing the number of computing molecules to single-molecule levels.
