Cellular heterogeneity mediates inherent sensitivity–specificity tradeoff in cancer targeting by synthetic circuits

Synthetic gene circuits are emerging as a versatile means to target cancer with enhanced specificity by combinatorial integration of multiple expression markers. Such circuits must also be tuned to be highly sensitive because escape of even a few cells might be detrimental. However, the error rates...
