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.

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...
