Two synthetic biology's tools

Main Article Content
Abstract
Synthetic biology came to settle in and break the boundaries of the science. Many molecular techniques overcome the fiction to become reality. This article discusses two innovative techniques, as CRISPR, in particular the application of CRISPR-on which is able to activated particular human genes, and the synthetic RNAs messengers for isolation and purification specific cells. From a gaze focused on translational medicine, both tools offer great therapeutic potentia
