Engineering living therapeutics and diagnostics: A new frontier in human health
Traditional therapeutics aim to diagnose, treat, and cure diseases through various synthetic and natural approaches. The emerging field of engineered living therapeutics (ELTs) genetically functionalizes living cells to alter the paradigm of designed solutions. In this review, we focus on ELTs derived from microbial cell scaffolds. We propose three synergistic modalities for the rational design of ELTs: first, use of regulatory operations to regulate genetic expression; second, integration of alternative biosensing inputs for directed application; third, choice of microbial chassis to deliver solutions. We highlight the challenges and future opportunities within each group and conclude by providing a prospective outlook for ELTs.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Systems Biology is a new systematic review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up-to-date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of Systems Biology. It publishes polished, concise and timely systematic reviews and opinion articles. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion on the topics discussed. As this is such a broad discipline, we have determined themed sections each of which is reviewed once a year. The following areas will be covered by Current Opinion in Systems Biology: -Genomics and Epigenomics -Gene Regulation -Metabolic Networks -Cancer and Systemic Diseases -Mathematical Modelling -Big Data Acquisition and Analysis -Systems Pharmacology and Physiology -Synthetic Biology -Stem Cells, Development, and Differentiation -Systems Biology of Mold Organisms -Systems Immunology and Host-Pathogen Interaction -Systems Ecology and Evolution
