| Abstract | Non-Technical Summary: Cells are the smallest component of life. They have been engineered to be useful in areas such as medicine and energy. Cells can be used to produce critical therapies that can combat cancer, or the cells themselves can even be used as the medicine. Biologists are very good at engineering the internal processes that happen within the cell. It is much more difficult to precisely control what happens on the exterior of the cell. This leads to challenges that may limit the pro |
