Abstract
None:
Zhu et al. introduce MELG (materials engineered by living grafting), combining engineered microbes with non-living scaffolds for functional protein regeneration within. These MELGs can be used for long-term controlled release, enzyme-mediated biocatalysis, and DNA purification. This approach offers enhanced functionality and durability in bioactive materials compared to traditional non-living counterparts.
