Now THATS cool. And assembling a polio virus from standard issue chemicals, thats just way, way cool.
COOOL.
Can't wait to see where they go with it, maybe we'll have some kinda artificial bloodstream-dwelling cells that regulate insulin for diabetics? That'd be wicked hot.
On thought, they would probably get destroyed by antibodies just for being there... maybe theres a way to grow the artificial cell from a particular host dna.... hmmm.
I'm not very well versed in biology... I could be talking shit.
Failing to think of more practical applications.... anyone?
