This paper uses bacteria to spatially control material assembly through quorum-sensing-mediated extracellular electron transfer, enabling patterned hydrogel formation.

The paper introduces a linear mixed effects model to statistically evaluate synthetic gene circuits, finding that the fixed effect β describes gate behavior and can be used to assess performance.

This paper demonstrates how bacterial extracellular electron transfer can control synthetic polymer networks through genetic circuits, enabling dynamic and tunable material properties.
