Cultivation of Synthetic Biology with the iGEM Competition
Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics, 2013 The main goal of synthetic biology is to create new biological modules that augment or modify the behavior of living organisms in performing different tasks. These modules are useful in a wide range of applications, such as medicine, agriculture, energy and environmental remediation.

Exploring MYC relevance to cancer biology from the perspective of cell competition [PDF]
Seminars in Cancer Biology, 2019 Cancer has long been regarded and treated as a foreign body appearing by mistake inside a living organism. However, now we know that cancer cells communicate with neighbours, thereby creating modified environments able to support their unusual need for nutrients and space.
