Quorum sensing (QS), a microbial cell-to-cell communication process, dynamically regulates
a variety of metabolism and physiological activities. In this review, we provide an update on …

Synthetic gene circuits are designed to program new biological behaviour, dynamics and
logic control. For all but the simplest synthetic phenotypes, this requires a structured …

One of the major challenges in modern biology is to understand how the molecular
components of a living cell operate in a highly noisy environment. What are the specific …

Circadian clocks synchronise biological processes with the day/night cycle, using molecular
mechanisms that include interlocked, transcriptional feedback loops. Recent experiments …

The construction of synthetic biochemical circuits from simple components illuminates how
complex behaviors can arise in chemistry and builds a foundation for future biological …

The capability to engineer de novo feedback control with biological molecules is ushering in
an era of robust functionality for many applications in biotechnology and medicine. To fulfill …

Gene expression oscillators can structure biological events temporally and spatially.
Different biological functions benefit from distinct oscillator properties. Thus, finite …

Oscillations are a recurrent phenomenon in biological systems across scales, but
deciphering their fundamental principles is very challenging. Here, we tackle this challenge …

A major challenge for biology is to extend our understanding of molecular regulation from
the simplified conditions of the laboratory to ecologically relevant environments. Tractable …

Biological systems exhibit complex behaviours that emerge at many different levels of
organization. These span the regulation of gene expression within single cells to the use of …
