Synthetic biology has traditionally been divided into two different approaches: top down and bottom up. “applying the engineering paradigm of systems design to biological systems in order to produce predictable and robust systems with novel functionalities that do not exist in nature” (The European Commission, 2005) This can include the possibility of a molecular assembler, based upon biomolecular systems such as the ribosome."designing and constructing biological modules, biological systems, and biological machines or, re-design of existing biological systems for useful purposes"."an emerging field of research that aims to combine the knowledge and methods of biology, engineering and related disciplines in the design of chemically synthesized DNA to create organisms with novel or enhanced characteristics and traits"."the use of a mixture of physical engineering and genetic engineering to create new (and, therefore, synthetic) life forms".Synthetic biology currently has no generally accepted definition. 6.2 Ethical support for synthetic biology.5.14 Nanoparticles, artificial cells and micro-droplets.5.13 Other transplants and induced regeneration.
