Mini factory starts healing process inside the gut

Cells engineered for specific targets

Factories canbe programmed to turn 'on' and 'off'

Molecular machines make medicines

Cells programmed to treat different

ailments, such as diabetes or cholera

Living machines become part of your body

Modified bacteria designed to interact with and control environments

Microfluidic 'organ-on-a-chip' simulates organs and organ systems

Cells can turn colors depending on reactionDevices and computer

models test potential therapies

Mini 'factories' disseminate therapies

throughout body
