New Cell-To-Cell Communication Process Could Revolutionize Bioengineering

Zothecula writes "The internet has revolutionized global communications and now researchers at Stanford University are looking to provide a similar boost to bioengineering with a new process dubbed "Bi-Fi." The technology uses an innocuous virus called M13 to increase the complexity and amount of information that can be sent from cell to cell. The researchers say the Bi-Fi could help bio-engineers create complex, multicellular communities that work together to carry out important biological functions."

What could possibly go wrong?

Except perhaps, a population of schizoid zombies, giant mutant blue babies, or and army of 4-armed, forewarned lawyers.

Not a fan of Standford

Honestly, I'll wait until I hear something about research from Stanford. Standford isn't nearly as reputable, IMO.

There is no outcome to this that doesn't end up with all of us dead, or praying for depth.

This is /. -- I pray for depth every day...
