IGEM:IMPERIAL/2009/Anti cancer

Principles
Major considerations: MYROSINASE 1.Production of isothiocyanites inhibits thioredoxin reductases, which kills cancer cells: KEY QUESTIONS FURTHER APPLICATIONS APPLICATION WILL DETERMINE
 * Add vegetable soup
 * Concentrate in cell and extract/purify
 * Do all cells contain thioredoxin reductase?
 * Would isothiocyanites work on all cells?
 * How does thioredoxin reductase inhibition lead to cancer cell death?
 * What is the missing link between vegetables and perturbation into cells?
 * Delivery of enzymes;KO proteosome
 * Aggregate encapsulated cells into structure: wire, colum?
 * Avoid medical track! Look at manufacturing, biofabrication... etc (See James Chappel's email)
 * Concentrating ions
 * Charge storing
 * Purification
 * Metal detoxification
 * Chassis
 * Mechanism of encapsulation
