Review on light-responding synthetic cells

Our new publication "Let There be Light! Light as an Engine and Regulator in Synthetic Cell" is out!

In this paper, our DCs Atreyee Saha, Mehaiarii Louis and our PI Seraphine Wegner explore the efforts made so far in the construction of synthetic cells that respond to light, including its use to mimic metabolic responses, trigger functions and supply energy. Finally, they conclude with a compendium of the design methods and key factors to consider when designing such systems.
