Researchers using synthetic bacteria to cure disease

The video discusses PKU, a condition where individuals cannot break down phenylalanine, necessitating dietary restrictions. Researchers at Synlogic have developed a genetically engineered probiotic, Sin B 1618, to help treat PKU. The treatment involves a two-step process: controlling blood PHE levels and gradually reintroducing natural protein into the diet.
