Rester: A Vitamin A Biomanufacturing Cell Factory for Skincare Products

Our society has been under massive academic and work pressure recently. However, as the most exterior health indicator, skin loses the care that it should have according to research indicating that over 40% of people have worsened skin health due to a work-life imbalance and a lack of skincare awareness during the pandemic. Our project Rester centers on Vitamin A, an effective skincare reagent but with possible side effects. Our modified cell factories featuring phase separation and enzyme anchoring contain the reaction route of beta-carotene, retinal, and retinol through consecutive enzymatic reactions with appropriate efficiency. It would underlie the production of Vitamin A derivatives that overcome the instability and hazard issues of typical Vitamin A forms in skincare products. This biomanufacturing plan helps people with heavy stress and skincare queries raise their proper skincare awareness, ease their financial burden of skincare, and ultimately regain confidence in their careers and life.

Note from HQ

This repository MUST contain all coding assets to generate your team's wiki (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, etc).

Images, photos, icons and fonts MUST be stored on static.igem.wiki using uploads.igem.org, and Videos must be embedded from iGEM Video Universe.

For up-to-date requirements, resources, help and guidance, visit competition.igem.org/deliverables/team-wiki.

Getting started

You should probably only edit the files inside folders static, wiki and wiki > pages.

1. Open the Web IDE
2. Make the changes on the files you wish:
   • For the menu, change the file menu.html
   • For the layout, change the file layout.html
   • For the pages, change the corresponding file in the foler pages
3. Review the changes you made
4. Once you are done, save the changes by committing them to the main branch of the repository
5. An automated script will build, test and deploy your wiki, which should take less than 30 seconds.

About this Template

Files

The static assets are in the static directory. The layout and templates are in the wiki directory, and the pages live in the wiki > pages directory. Unless you are an experienced and/or adventurous human, you probably shouldn't change other files.
