Over the last decade, the advance of manufacture, delivery and immunity modulation, gene therapeutics (GTs) has resurged as most popular modalities. Due to its special nature in delivery and biodistribution as well as the unique mechanism of actions, conventional bioanalytical approaches have limitations in supporting the development of GTs. This review summaries the challenges and considerations in designing GTs related bioassays.

There are numerous applications for materials derived from biological sources outside of the biomedical sector. However, due to the difficulty of elucidating, imitating, or adjusting the natural biosynthetic mechanisms, it is difficult to alter the properties of these materials. As a result, numerous bio-derived materials are produced by isolating substitutes from natural tissues or by producing them recombinantly and then changing them. The developing field of synthetic biology, which is developing a "toolbox" of innovative techniques to tune biomolecules and biosynthetic mechanisms is driving a significant paradigm shift. In terms of materials, this has made it possible to design novel materials by combining desired domainsand has resulted in higher production titers due to reprogrammed natural biosynthesis. Bio-derived ribosomal and nonribosomal polymer materials for biomedical applications are the focus of recent synthetic biology applications. We then depict cutting edge strategies that will affect bio-determined material creation and designing sooner rather than later. A new era of biomaterial design and synthesis is expected to begin as a result of ongoing innovation at the convergence of synthetic biology and materials science.
