Innovation, science, technology and ideas shaping the future

Imagine if we could communicate with the collective intelligence of cells. Imagine if we could build living robots doing exactly what we told them from normal cells.

"If we were able to communicate to a set of cells exactly what it is that we want them to build, we would have the solution for birth defects, lost organs of various kinds and limbs. We could reprogram tumors back to normal." - Michael Levin

Michael Levin is a biologist and some of the latest and most fascinating work is creating living robots, xenobots, using frog cells, potentially unlocking the future of regenerative medicine.
