Researchers engineer bacteria that deliver an anti-tumor toxin in mice before self-destructing. 

A new tool makes programming living cells like writing computer software.

Designing circuits in living cells is messy business.

Cellular “tinkering” is critical for establishing a new engineering discipline that will lead to the next generation of technologies based on life’s building blocks.

Journals plagiarizing journals; new immune cells combat diabetes; TB-killing vitamin C; analog cell computers; real time fish memory; ant-pitcher plant mutualism

Synthetic biologists are looking to analog, not digital, circuits to create cell-based calculators that can add, divide, and even perform algorithms.
