Synthesis and patterning of tunable multiscale materials with engineered cells

Many natural biological systems-such as biofilms, shells and skeletal tissues-are able to assemble multifunctional and environmentally responsive multiscale assemblies of living and non-living components. Here, by using inducible genetic circuits and cellular communication circuits to regulate Esche...
