Application of synthetic biology in health and medicine in 2023
Since the 21st century,high-throughput DNA sequencing,large-scale DNA synthesis and assembly,and high-efficiency genome editing have made continuous breakthroughs,pushing the"read-edit-write"of synthetic biology into an era of high-throughput and automation,and have begun to affect or be applied in many fields such as biomedicine,material chemistry,agriculture,food,energy,environmental protection,etc.In health and medicine,on the basis of understanding the laws of life,the research and technological innovations of synthetic biology can analyze the mechanism of disease,find drug design targets,intervene in natural physiological metabolic processes and immune response mechanisms,achieve the monitoring of human physiological state and the diagnosis and treatment of diseases,which will profoundly affect the medical models,diagnosis and treatment systems,and the health and medicine industry.This article systematically reviews the strategic planning,research and development,and industrial progress of global synthetic biology in the field of health and medicine in 2023,and looks forward to the future development prospects of this broader application.
