cellfria
Cellfria is a term used in synthetic biology to describe a framework for programmable multicellular systems composed of artificial cells that communicate to coordinate collective behavior. An artificial cell within this framework is typically a lipid vesicle or polymeric microcompartment that can host simple genetic or enzymatic circuits, synthesize and sense signaling molecules, and exchange information with neighboring units through engineered interfaces.
Key features include modular design, defined intercellular communication channels, and simple interaction rules that give rise
Historically, the concept emerged within protocell and synthetic biology circles and has been explored in studies
Applications and outlook: If advances continue, cellfria-inspired systems could enable programmable tissue-like materials, responsive biosensors, and
