Synthetic biology, an emerging area of scientific research, promises cheaper and faster routes to drugs, biofuel, and new materials for medical applications. However, synthetic biology also provokes controversy because it aims to ‘engineer biology’. Join University of Bristol scientists for a free public talk tomorrow to discuss the issues surrounding this area of science.

Policymakers have known for roughly a decade that synthetic biology could be misused to develop cheaper and more effective bioweapons. During that time, a great deal has been written and said and something like a policy community has emerged. Even better, there are now consensus viewpoints around many issues. Those of us who study this ...

... and fibroblasts correspond to the laminin 2 chain variant sequence from the human brain. Individually expressed recombinant large globular (LG) 1 protein promotes cell adhesion and has heparin binding activities. Studies with synthetic peptides delineate the DLTIDDSYWYRI motif (Ln2-P3) within the LG1 as a major site for both heparin and cell binding. Cell adhesion to LG1 and Ln2-P3 is inhibited by ...
