- 1. Simpler & smaller: a new synthetic nanofactory inspired by nature
-
The genetically engineered shell is based on natural structures and the principles of protein evolution. Scientists see such structures as a source of new industrial or medical technologies.

- 2. Our first look at a new light absorbing protein in cyanobacteria
-
The HCP2 protein is an ancestor of proteins that are known to protect against damage caused by excess light exposure. The study is the first of its kind to structurally and biophysically analyze a protein from the recently discovered HCP family.

- 3. Two PRL grad students advocate for science on Capitol Hill
-
Our students were part of a MSU team that met with staff at the offices of Senator Peters, Senator Stabenow, Representative Slotkin and four other representatives to advocate for science funding.

- 5. New ways to control bacterial factories for future biotech uses
-
The new methods let scientists assemble the factories on demand and insert custom molecules inside them for further processing. The aim is to eventually design sustainable medical, industrial, or energy applications.

- 6. Scientists find new methods to control bacterial factories for biotech aims
-
The Kerfeld lab announces two new methods for manipulating bacterial factories for biotech aims: one is to screen and extract the factories, the other is to predictably insert custom enzymes in them.
