This paper engineers red blood cells into synthetic cells using cell-free gene expression to execute gene circuits and synthesize phages.

This paper develops a cell-free platform linking metabolic activity to protein synthesis under resource scarcity, demonstrating how metabolic control can influence gene expression in synthetic cells.

This study creates a synthetic cell-free system where T7 phages infect synthetic cells, demonstrating a complete viral life cycle in vitro.

This paper engineers a carbon-conserving cell-free system in E. coli to produce malate from formate and bicarbonate, achieving a 15-fold increase in titer and reducing background reactions by 6-fold.

The paper introduces DRAFTS, a method for multiplexed transcriptional measurement in cell-free systems, and shows functional differences in gene expression across bacterial species and hybrid lysates.
