Abstract excerpt
Rapid advances in cellular engineering1,2 have positioned synthetic biology to address therapeutic3,4 and industrial5 problems, but a substantial obstacle is the myriad of unanticipated cellular responses in heterogeneous real-world environments such as the gut6,7, solid tumours8,9, bioreactors10 or soil11. Complex interactions between the environment and cells often arise through non-uniform nutrient...
