Engineering microbial consortia: a new frontier in synthetic biology. (2008, methodology): “Engineered acyl-HSL communication has been used in biological ‘circuits’ that coordinate population-wide behaviors ranging from population-density-dependent fluorescence [37], cell suicide [ 38 ], and invasion of cancer cells [39] to pattern formation [40].”
Environmentally controlled invasion of cancer cells by engineered bacteria. (2006, methodology): “developed a synthetic population control circuit by linking quorum sensing to cell death by inducing the synthesis of a toxic protein.(15)”
A Comprehensive Survey of Recent Advancements in Molecular Communication (2014, background): “example, the transmitter and the receiver can be generated by modifying cells genetically [53], [74]–[76], or by creating artificial cells [77]–[79].”
