Synthetically Engineered Biosensors Facilitate Molecule Detection Using Living Eukaryotic Cells

Synthetically engineered biosensors, which can be designed to detect and signal the presence of specific small molecule compounds, have already unlocked many potential applications by harnessing bacterial cells such as E. coli to sense toxins or enable bioproduction of valuable commodities including fuel, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. As of yet, however, scientists have been challenged to leverage biosensors for use in eukaryotic cells — which comprise yeast, plants and animals — because strategies-to-date are limited in the molecules they can detect and the signals they can produce.

Energy Sensing Vital for Successful Proliferation of Cancer Cells

An international research team formed by a University of Cincinnati (UC) cancer researcher has shown for the first time that a specific enzyme is responsible for sensing the available supply of GTP, an energy source that fuels the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. The research underscores the enzyme's potential to become a therapeutic target for future cancer drugs.
