Lecture

Engineering with Cellular Components: Proteins, Lipids, and DNA

Description

This lecture covers the fundamentals of biology and cells, proteins, lipids, and DNA as synthetic bioinspired materials. It explores the physics of biological action, including cellular components, inter- and intracellular action, and the physics of biological phenomena. Topics include the structure and function of cells, protein engineering, lipid-based materials, and the production of proteins in the lab. The lecture also delves into the composition of cell membranes, the dynamics of lipids, and the fluid mosaic model. Additionally, it discusses DNA structure, recombinant DNA, and the use of DNA in bacterial cells. The lecture concludes with tissue engineering, organoids, organs-on-chip research, and the potential of these technologies in medical advancements.
