Excited to share our paper: we make 30 functional E. coli translation factors in a minimal system (PURE), find threshold concentrations to confirm nascent activity and use DNA-brushes to co-localize genes/proteins for simultaneous self-regeneration. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Review: Cell-free protein synthesis in microcompartments towards cell–cell communication sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Cell-free genome-wide transcriptomics through machine learning optimization biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_synbio

Researchers, led by Dr. @jricou from Prof. Roy Bar-Ziv’s lab, have created a two-dimensional structure composed of more than 1,000 artificial cells on a silicon chip that behave like programmable synthetic tissue. The new findings, published in @NatureComms, represent a step forward in biological engineering >> nature.com/articles/s4146…

@BursteinVK Merci Alex !

@jricou Mazal tov !

My latest article is out! 1000 artificial cells synchronize in 2D and collective behavior emerges! #microfluidics #artificialcells #syntheticcells #cellfreeexpression doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Wow! Amazing work from my colleagues!Autonomous biogenesis of the entire protein translation machinery excluding ribosomes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@AuroreDupin_90 Very nice work!

I'm thrilled to share the preprint of our latest work on antibody profiling using a cell-free multiplex platform. Cell-free immuno-profiling on a genetically programmed biochip biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Latest preprint on transplanting chromosomes into microfluidic biochips and rebooting the genome with cell-free gene expression. The deconstruction into a simple artificial system revealed fascinating DNA swelling dynamics with transcription. Enjoy! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Final parallel session this afternoon on cell-cell communication, innovations and applications, and building blocks. #SynCell2024 @CREmmeneggerLab

@O_Borkowski Thanks for RT! I'd be glad to present this work in France!

@ManuelTHERY Thanks! I'd be glad to present this work in France!

Wow! This is stunning! Emergence of collective behaviours resulting in waves of protein expression !
