Cells respond to their environment by sensing signals and translating them into changes in gene expression. In recent years, synthetic networks have been designed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems to create new functionalities and for specific applications. In this review, we discuss the challenges associated with engineering signal transduction pathways. Furthermore, we address advantages and disadvantages of engineering signaling pathways in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, highlighting recent examples, and discuss how progress in synthetic biology might impact biotechnology and biomedicine.

The BioBricks Foundation (BBF) is dedicated to advancing synthetic biology to benefit all people and the planet. To achieve this, we must make engineering biology easier, safer, equitable, and more open. We do this in the following ways: by ensuring that the fundamental building blocks of synthetic biology are freely available for open innovation; by creating community, common values and shared standards; and by promoting biotechnology for all constructive interests. We envision a world in which scientists and engineers work together using BioBric parts freely available standardized biological parts to create safe, ethical solutions to the problems facing humanity. We envision synthetic biology as a force for good in the world. We see a future in which architecture, medicine, environmental remediation, agriculture, and many other fields are using the technology of synthetic biology. Our supporters are many and include corporations, individuals, institutions, foundations, government, corporations, and others. Currently, the BBF''s key programs include: * BIOFAB * BioBrick Public Agreement * Technical Standards Framework * Conferences and Workshops * BBF Global Network * OpenWetWare
