🚨NEW PUBLICATION ALERT🚨: In a paper out now in
@science.org we describe a way to build synthetic phosphorylation circuits with customizable sense-and-response functions in human cells. Check it out at science.org/doi/10.1126/....
Engineering synthetic phosphorylation signaling networks in human cells
Protein phosphorylation signaling networks have a central role in how cells sense and respond to their environment. We engineered artificial phosphorylation networks in which reversible enzymatic phos...
