Short-lived bioluminescence in cells
The Technology Bioluminescence is the production of light by a living organism. Cloning of the genes responsible for this bioluminescence has led to their use in many applications, ranging from environmental monitoring (glowing in response to a stimulus) to glowing fish production. One characteristic of this bioluminescence is that the Lux proteins...

Cellular transcriptional logic circuits
The TechnologyMoore's Law, stating that the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles around every two years, has held up since his initial publication in 1965. Smaller chips provide lower cost and higher speed or processing power. As chips become ever smaller, new techniques for miniaturizing complex circuits must evolve. In the near future,...

Smart sense-and-respond bandage for the detection and treatment of wound infections
The TechnologyResearchers at The University of Tennessee have developed a sense-and-respond bandage for autonomous, closed-loop detection, communication, and self-mitigation of wound pathogens. Using an integrated genomic, biomedical, and nanotechnological approach, the inventors have engineered a biochip biosensor that detects the presence of bacterial...

Bioluminescent fish for environmental detection, drug testing, and hobby collectors
The Technology Researchers at the University of Tennessee have developed transgenic luminescent zebrafish. The gene cassette used to create the luminescence can be engineered to express exclusively in the presence of a particular compound or pollutant in the zebrafish’s environment, thus functioning as a bioluminescent environmental reporter. The...

Alkane production from yeast
The Technology Due to the volatile nature of the petroleum market as well as its limited supply, there is increasing interest in alternative fuel sources. While a great deal of research has been performed on ethanol based fuels, novel sources of hydrocarbon chains that can be used as drop-in biofuel sources with existing infrastructure offers a novel...
