Synthetic Biology and Biomimicry
The image illustrates the assembly of artificial entities inspired by mammalian cells, reflecting the broad and interdisciplinary nature of the Special Issue “Synthetic Biology and Biomimicry” outlined in more details in the Editorial article number 2301160 by Alexander N. Zelikin, Ebbe Sloth Andersen, and Brigitte Städler. The natural cell can be broken down into...
Nanozymes are fundamentally interesting catalysts that are investigated as alternatives to fragile protein‐enzymes for applications in biotechnology, for prodrug activation, and use in biomedicine, as well as the catalysts that contributed to the Origin of Life. However, until now, nanozymes mostly have been documented to exhibit activity as red/ox catalysts, whereas examples of activity outside this...
Artificial biology is a cross‐disciplinary field that aims to mimic/reconstruct the function of natural macromolecules, organelles, cells, and small life forms, using synthetic tools. The articles in this Special Issue provide a multi‐angled view on artificial biology across the length‐scales from synthetic mimics of enzymes and antibodies to micromotors, organelles, cells, and artificial tissues...
The highly diverse biological roles of nitric oxide (NO) in both physiological and pathophysiological processes have prompted great interest in the use of NO as a therapeutic agent in various biomedical applications. NO can exert either protective or deleterious effects depending on its concentration and the location where it is delivered or generated. This double‐edged attribute, together with the...
Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent biological molecule that contributes to a wide spectrum of physiological processes. However, the full potential of NO as a therapeutic agent is significantly complicated by its short half‐life and limited diffusion distance in human tissues. Current strategies for NO delivery focus on encapsulation of NO donors into prefabricated scaffolds or an enzyme‐prodrug therapy...
