<!-- <h2>Genetic circuit to sense endometriosis</h2>
+
−
<p>Some of our team's achievements this year include:</p>
+
−
<ol>
+
−
<li>Developed <b>novel estrogen and progesterone inducible synthetic mammalian promoters</b> through bottom-up promoter engineering. These constructs could resolve the changes in estrogen and progesterone signaling characteristic of endometriosis</li>
+
−
<br>
+
−
<li>Characterized the <b>functionality of a miRNA sensing platform in TERT immortalized human endometrial stromal cells (tHESC)</b>. We are one of the first to characterize changes in miRNA activity in the cell line with and without estrogen. </li>
+
−
<br>
+
−
<li>Characterized <b> the functionality of a serine integrase (TP901) in a mammalian cell line</b>. Recombinases like TP901 downstream of a <b>tunable L7Ae - kturn system that we implemented</b> could help process input from our estrogen, progesterone, and miRNA sensors and adjust output as per a patient's needs. </li>
+
−
<br>
+
−
<li>Transfected <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Team:MIT/Experiments/Promoters/Experiment-Details-for-Cascades"><b>larger 4 to 5 transcriptional unit genetic circuits that cascaded our devices together</b></a> in order to explore how our sensors interact with one another.</li>
