Engineering yeast multicellular behaviors via synthetic adhesion and contact signaling By designing synthetic toolkits for contact-based signaling (MARS) and cell-cell adhesion (SATURN), we program yeast to form multicellular structures and perform complex tasks, like building logic cir...

Online now @ Cell is the yeast multicellular engineering paper from Fankang Meng - the fruits of his productive PhD in our group. He developed modular synthetic biology tools to bring multicellular behaviours to yeast - specific adhesion, juxtacrine signalling and more. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Harnessing Small RNAs as Synthetic Post-transcriptional Regulators in Bacteria Bacteria can respond to environmental changes by expressing small RNAs (sRNAs), which regulate mRNAs by complementary base-pairing. This regulatory mechanism allows bacteria to rapidly adapt their pro...

- Are bacterial sRNA systems inherently more prone to negative regulation?
- How relevant is sRNA recycling?
- How can we use sRNAs for synthetic biology?
A review with @danielschindler.bsky.social and Bork Berghoff explores the knobs and levers of sRNA-mediated regulation. doi.org/10.1021/acss...

Iโ€™m excited to see our review on bacterial small regulatory RNAs as tools for synthetic biology finally online. Great work together with @jensrna.bsky.social and Bork Berghoff it was fun to jointly work on that project. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... - thanks to @mpdl.mpg.de for open access funding
