Progreso en el diseño e ingeniería de sistemas electrogenéticos y su aplicación

Electrogenetics is a new field of synthetic biology, combining electronic devices and genetic methods to control gene expression and related cell functions. It covers a variety of fields such as synthetic biology, genetics, and electrochemistry and has been widely concerned by scientific research and academic circles at home and abroad, demonstrating great application prospects and potential in cell-cell communication, cell physiology and metabolism regulation, digital information storage, and disease treatment. In this paper, we summarized the components, advantages, and development process of electrogenetic systems and introduced the key response regulatory elements (such as metabolite transcription factors, oxidative stress transcription factors, and mammalian nuclear factors) of these systems. Then, we described electrogenetic regulatory systems based on these regulatory elements and discussed their applications in detail. Finally, we summed up the development and looked into the prospects of electrogenetic technology in synthetic biology. In the meanwhile, our paper pointed out the deficiencies of electrogenetics at present and proposed its future research directions and possible development trends, aiming at providing references and ideas for relevant researchers to promote the progress of electrogenetics research in synthetic biology.
