💡 Japanese scientists gave artificial cells a light-operated brake.
Blue light tells them to make mRNA. UV light makes them stop and shred what's already made, down to 36.5% in 20 minutes.
Stopping was the hard part.

Yesterday, I had a fantastic time presenting a keynote at The 14th #Microbiome & #Probiotics R&D and Business Collaboration Forum. The Forum highlights how #Genomics, #SyntheticBiology, and advanced #Bioengineering are rapidly transforming microbiology. A Huge Thank You to the organizers!
AI-generated biology's biggest challenge isn't creation, but credibility. DeepMind's SynthID Bio solves this by watermarking AI proteins to prove origin. Essential for biosecurity & trust. This traceability is why I built IMPRINT.
AI generated proteins now bear invisible watermarks for traceability, boosting biosecurity and research integrity. #AIProteins #Biosecurity #Traceability #SyntheticBiology #MolecularTag
