Description
Imen Zalila-Kolsi reviews engineered bacteria as living medicines and as precision tools for farms, factories, and the environment, in a 2025 paper. Synthetic biology lets microbes sense signals in the body and answer with targeted treatment in real time. Gene editing systems, synthetic circuits, and modular DNA carriers give fine control over what the bacteria do.
Modeling and machine learning now speed design and scale-up, the review notes. Open problems include keeping engineered traits stable, proving safety, and repeating results across settings. Rules and ethics are still catching up, with dual-use worries in the mix. The author looks toward blends with nanotechnology and personal medicine.
