NANO CLOT BUSTERS. Doug Ingber's group have "developed micro aggregates of thrombolytic-drug-coated nanoparticles that break apart under the abnormally high fluid shear stress of narrowed blood vessels and then bind and dissolve the problematic clot." https://lnkd.in/eWkY2cJ View in LinkedIn

THE DIGITAL AGE OF BIOLOGY. "This is now the era of digital biology, in which the proteins and other interacting molecules in a cell can be viewed as its hardware and the information encoded in its DNA as its software." https://lnkd.in/eyZU783 View in LinkedIn

SMART DRUGS. George Church has developed "logic-gated DNA nanocapsules that deliver drugs inside cells only when a specific panel if disease bio markers is over-expressed on the cell surface." https://lnkd.in/eWkY2cJ View in LinkedIn

SPONTANEOUS GENERATION. Venter broke Virchov's Biogenic Law: "omniscient cellula e cellula, or "all living things arise from pre-existing cells." Page 15. https://lnkd.in/eyZU783 View in LinkedIn

PROGRAMMABLE MATTER so far has been barely applied to pharmaceutical delivery, but for sure the drugs of the future will be Smart Drugs. Specific site delivery of drugs, to the target organs or cells, has been an aspiration of pharma developers for decades, but without significant progress. In general, the industry has been lacking innovation. View in LinkedIn

"DNA, AS DIGITIZED INFORMATION, is not only accumulating in computer databases, but can now be transmitted as an electromagnetic wave at or near the speed of light, via a biological teleported, to recreate proteins, viruses, living cells at a remote location, perhaps changing forever how we view life." https://lnkd.in/eyZU783 View in LinkedIn

SINGULARITY. "Humankind is about to enter a new phase of evolution." Page 7. https://lnkd.in/eyZU783 View in LinkedIn

BOOTING UP LIFE. "In May 2010 my team at the J Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) synthesized an entire bacterial chromosome from computer code and four bottles of chemicals, and then booted up the chromosome in a cell to create the first synthetic organism." Page 18. https://lnkd.in/eyZU783 View in LinkedIn

BOOTING UP NEW LIFE. "Starting with computerized digital code, designing a new form of life, chemically synthesizing its DNA, and then booting it up to produce the actual organism. And because the information is now digital, we can send it anywhere at the speed of light, and re-create the DNA and life at the other end." Page 6. https://lnkd.in/eyZU783 View in LinkedIn

J CRAIG VENTER "followed the same recipe later on to generate the DNA for his larger and more sophisticated creature. Venter and his team figured out how to make an artificial bacterial cell, inserted their man-made DNA genome inside, and watched as the organic life form they had synthesized moved, ate, breathed, and replicated itself." https://lnkd.in/dyGvsfW View in LinkedIn
