Yes i remembered reading the first paper in 2014 where they just show replication of the plasmid and it was already impressive. I found out about the second one while writing the article and it blew my mind! I think now the most difficult part is specific tRNA loading of different unnatural amino acids in the same cell, but that's definitely exciting just as a proof of concept.
