- 1. [LINK] Cheryl Kerfeld: Inspired by nature
-
Cheryl Kerfeld is the Hannah Distinguished Professor of Structural Bioengineering in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and at the MSU-DOE Plant Research Laboratory.
- By By Cheryl Kerfeld, Igor Houwat
- 2. 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.

- 3. 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.

- 8. Identifying a new family of light-responsive proteins
-
The new family of proteins protects cyanobacteria from sunlight damage, and they are interesting for use in synthetic medical or renewable energy applications.
- By Igor Houwat, Han Bao
- 9. Turning the evolutionary clock back on a light-sensitive protein
-
Scientists show how the two OCP parts interact and also create new synthetic versions of that protein. The goal is to use it in synthetic healthcare systems, powered by light.
