Robust and efficient hosts are necessary to facilitate advances in biotechnology. We unveil Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain XP as a promising new microbial chassis owing to its high growth rate and robustness. This strain has a doubling time of 48.2 min, which is 12.8 min faster than the...
Synthetic biology, relying on Design-Build-Test-Learn (DBTL) cycle, aims to solve medicine, manufacturing and agriculture problems. However, the DBTL cycle’s Learn (L) step lacks predictive power for the behavior of biological systems, resulting from the incompatibility between sparse testing dat...
Reactive astrocytes play an important role in neurological diseases, but their molecular and functional phenotypes in epilepsy are unclear. Here, we show that in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and mouse models of epilepsy, excessive lipid accumulation in astrocytes leads to the format...
