Biological Cells Fused with Artificial Cells
Posted by Steve Hill in categories: bioengineering, biological
For the first time in history, researchers have fused artificial cells with biological cells in a way that lets them work together. This opens the door for a variety of new possibilities and applications.
Fusing biological and artificial cells
The research team at Imperial College London uses a system that encapsulates biological cells within an artificial cell. Using this approach, the team can harness the ability of biological cells to produce chemicals while offering them protection from the environment.

Bionic Kidney To Replace Dialysis
Posted by Philip Raymond in categories: aging, bioengineering, bionic, biotech/medical
It’s not uncommon for the press to get hyped up before the long process of refinement and FDA approval. Let’s hope that this one moves along quickly — while demonstrating safety and efficacy.

Hybrid artificial-natural cells bring together the best of both worlds
Posted by Montie Adkins in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical
Sometimes I think I’m jumping the gun when speculating. Take this further, a better full body replacement?
The more we study natural biological cells, the more we learn about how to control them or build artificial versions. These independent avenues of study have huge potential, but also their limitations. Researchers from Imperial College London have worked out a way to borrow the strengths of each, fusing together living and non-living cells to create tiny chemical factories that might one day aid drug delivery.
In past work, scientists have packaged proteins and enzymes inside artificial casings to better treat conditions like cancer or diabetes. Rather than just using some natural parts, the Imperial College study instead wrapped entire biological cells inside artificial ones.

Gene Editing Just Got So Precise, Researchers Can Change Single Letters of DNA Code

MhAX, or Microhomology-Assisted eXcision.
Gene editing has the power to completely reshape our world.
It promises everything from fixing the genetic faults that lead to disease, to destroying disease-causing microbes, to improving the nutrition of the foods we eat and even resurrecting extinct species like the wooly mammoth — all largely thanks to the genetic editing tool CRISPR, which has both popularized this work and made it possible.
