Scientists from both China and abroad have successfully constructed a programmable platform for cell differentiation and proportion control.

The research team of the Shenzhen Advanced Technology Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with a research team from Harvard University, has successfully constructed a programmable cell differentiation and proportion control platform based on recombinant enzymes. This platform functions like a "biological programmer" by allowing a single parent cell to autonomously generate multiple offspring cells based on preset rules, and can quantitatively control the differentiation ratio and order of the cells. This achievement was published in the international academic journal Nature on March 19th.
