Cell-Free Synthetic Biology

Cell-Free Synthetic Biology is a field of research where scientists work with biological systems outside of living cells. They use cell extracts containing cellular machinery like enzymes and ribosomes to carry out biological processes in a test tube. This approach allows for more control and manipulation of biological reactions, making it easier to study and engineer biological systems. Researchers use cell-free systems to create new proteins, genetic circuits, and even artificial cells for various applications in medicine, biotechnology, and more.
