Polymer Encapsulation of Bacterial Biosensors Enables Coculture with Mammalian Cells

Ignacio Moya-Ramirez et al.

Summary: The coexistence of different populations of cells and isolation of tasks can enhance robustness and adaptability or provide new functionalities to a culture. In this study, a method called living analytics in a multilayer polymer shell (LAMPS) was developed to facilitate the coculture of mammalian and bacterial cells. The researchers successfully programmed a separation of tasks within the coculture, allowing different cells to perform specific functions.

Characterization of an engineered live bacterial therapeutic for the treatment of phenylketonuria in a human gut-on-a-chip

M. Tyler Nelson et al.

Summary: Engineered bacteria, or synthetic biotics, utilize synthetic biology tools for therapeutic purposes and require translational testing to predict their function in the human body. Gut-on-a-chip microfluidics technology allows for characterization of strain function within a simulated human gastrointestinal tract, providing a framework to predict the function of candidate strains in vivo.
