A Tissue Nanotransfection Chip

Quoting directly: “Injured tissues can be repaired and damaged organs healed using a new nanotech device that adapts a patient’s own skin to generate stem cells, according to a paper published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. Researchers from Ohio State University call the new technology tissue nanotransfection (TNT). They say TNT – which is basically a lab on a chip – can adapt skin cells to change into any type of tissue required, which can then be introduced to injured or degenerated areas. They claim a success rate of 98%.” MORE
