Regulating protein function is the key to regulating life.
We report in Cell Discovery on a technology (INSRTR), to regulate the function of proteins via short peptides or proteases, similar to transistors in electronic circuits. rdcu.be/dv8ER 1/3
VERY excited to welcome this paper out in Nature Biomedical Engineering where we introduce the GEMINI platform for engineering multifunctional extracellular vesicles as versatile, programmable, biological delivery vehicles

How do individual transcription factors (TF) influence reprogramming? Isn’t it just the cells with the highest levels of TF expression that reprogram? So just blast them & it should work, right? 🤨Buckle up for our lab’s preprint & tour de force led by Nat Wang Nat B. Wang 🏳️🌈🧬🧑🏻🔬 ! (1/n)
Engineering cells for quick protein secretion + demo in a mouse model of diabetes!
A really cool method pioneered by Alex Vlahos (he/him) Xiaojing Gao in Nature Communications & recent mouse demo by the Ye lab in Nature Chemical Biology
For hydrogel enthusiasts still at #AICHE2023 , Hydrogel Biomaterials III: Design and Characterizatiom starts at 8 am in Celebration 12!
If you are still around American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) tomorrow and not conferenced out, come check out my talk on using RELEASE as a High-Throughput assay to Explore Human Transmembrane Domains for Synthetic Protein Engineering at 9:30 am at Celebration 2. #AIChE2023
