This Virtual Special Issue seeks contributions that will advance discovery of previously unknown design principles in mammalian cell biology and validate our current understanding of this rapidly growing topic area. Submit your manuscript by February 29, 2024.
Much of the foundation of synthetic biology has been built using single celled organisms, i.e., bacteria and yeast. However, mammalian synthetic biology has become an increasingly important part of the field over time, helping us push the boundaries of our basic understanding of fundamental biomolecular, cellular, and tissue level mechanisms in mammals and leading the way to new therapeutic applications.
A new Virtual Special Issue from ACS Synthetic Biology will focus on this rapidly growing topic, including contributions on the development and application of engineered therapeutic systems and the advancement of foundational knowledge. The resulting work serves both to validate our current scientific understanding and to discover previously unknown design principles in mammalian cell biology.
Relevant topics include:
- Metabolic states of engineered mammalian cells
- Epigenetic engineering: customized chromatin proteins and scaffold RNAs
- Mammalian-specific engineering of gene regulation
- Immune cell signaling reporter systems
- Myeloid receptor engineering
- Engineering cell fate and cell programming
- Tools and platforms for mammalian genetic construct engineering
