bionic chip / Cell ChipThe tiny device -- smaller and thinner than a strand of hair -- combines a healthy human cell with an electronic circuitry chip. By controlling the chip with a computer, scientists say they can control the activity of the cell. The computer sends electrical impulses to the cell-chip, triggering the cell's
membrane pores to open and activating the cell. Scientists hope they can manufacture cell-chips in large numbers and insert them into the body to replace or correct diseased tissues. ``We've brought engineering essentially into the field of biology,'' said Rubinsky, a professor of mechanical
engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, which funded his research. ``We can introduce DNA, extract proteins, administer medicines -- all without bothering other cells that might be around.'' ``The method for opening cells has been around a long time, but this makes it more exact and easier
to do in large throws,'' Ferrari said.
http://edstrong.blog-city.com/unnatural_disaster_tsunami_conspiracy_theory_starts_here.htmIt was reported on 2/25/2000 that U. Cal. Berkeley researchers have discovered "a way to mate human cells with circuitry in a 'bionic chip' that could play a key role in medicine and genetic engineering." The "cell-chip," touted in the March, 2000 issue of the journal Biomedical Microdevices,
is a tiny device smaller and thinner than a strand of hair which "combines a healthy human cell with an electronic circuitry chip." By controlling the chip with a computer, the activity of the cell can be controlled. Eventually it is hoped that various types of cell-chips will be developed which would be
"tuned for the precise voltage needed to activate different bodily tissues, from muscle to bone to brain." As this article explains, it will be a while before we see the development of "a bionic man," but the development
of the cell-chip will clearly accelerate genetic research.
