Synthetic Biology Used to Limit Bacterial Growth and Coordinate Drug Release

Thursday, July 21, 2016 - 09:31 in Biology & Nature

Researchers at the University of California San Diego and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have come up with a strategy for using synthetic biology in therapeutics. The approach enables continual production and release of drugs at disease sites in mice while simultaneously limiting the size, over time, of the populations of bacteria engineered to […]
