Synthetic Biology and Tissue Engineering

Synthetic biology drugs

Synthetic biology uses the organisms to manufacture the targeted drugs by recombining artificial biosynthetic pathways in the host. Some of the drugs produced by this application are vancomycine, cyclosporine. Synthetic biology is the engineering of biology: the synthesis of complex, biologically based (or inspired) systems which display functions that do not exist in nature. Synthetic biologists use polypeptides for the manufacturing of desired drugs assembling all together into a single complex. This engineering perspective may be applied at all levels of the hierarchy of biological structures – from individual molecules to whole cells, tissues and organisms.
