Environmental co-contamination presents significant challenges. To tackle these, while microbial consortia offer advantages over single-strain approaches, such as functional redundancy and synergistic degradation, rationally designing effective synthetic microbiomes specifically for complex ...
Wheat is a major staple crop grown across the globe. Fusarium crown rot (FCR) of wheat, caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, is a destructive soil-borne disease that lacks effective sustainable control measures. Here, we assembled a cross-kingdom synthetic microbial community (SMC) comprising Tr...
NAMPT plays a major role in NAD biosynthesis in many cancers and is an attractive potential cancer target. However, factors dictating therapeutic efficacy of NAMPT inhibitors (NAMPTi) are unclear. We report that neuroendocrine phenotypes predict lung and prostate carcinoma vulnerability to NAMPTi...
The emergence, organization, and persistence of cellular life are the result of the functional integration of metabolic and genetic networks. Here, we engineer phospholipid vesicles that can operate three essential functions, namely transcription-translation of a partial genome, self-replication ...
