Generic Circuit Design Principles for Cellular Circuits?

Scientists are trying to figure out the principles circuit design that are not just imported from electrical engineering, but actually more appropriate for the way the cell works. "We're really excited about is that most synthetic biology, I would say, so far has been focused on functions that you can program in a single cell," he says. 'A lot of the functionality that's really amazing about cells comes from their ability to act together as multicellular systems'
