Overall project
Our team's aim is to use specific compounds in media to induce color differentiation. Cells would respond to different compounds depending on the types of genes that are induced by these concentrations, which would trigger a release of pigments that depended on the type of compound that the cell would sense. A possibility is to induce cell migration depending on the location and concentration of these inducers in the media. A possible application of this is for use of biosensors to test water contamination, given a certain concentration of contaminants. Our project could also be adapted toward homeostasis and curing of metaboloic diseases.
