Intracellular DNA-driven nanomachines that are able to operate in and interact with biological cells (IMAGE)
Caption
On the left side, in vitro preassembled DNA circuits are delivered into living cells. Alternatively, on the right side, RNA pregates are autonomously transcribed from the chromosome or plasmids to be then converted into functional RNA circuits. Either way, functional circuits then sense the transcriptional and metabolic state of the cell and perform signal integration and other computations to ultimately actuate on diverse biological processes such as posttranscriptional gene regulation.
