A research team from East China Normal University in Shanghai developed an engineered oral-deliverable glucose-sensing and functional response probiotic (GIFT) living drug.
I’m fine with the probiotic bit, but they made it sound like they put it into a ‘synthetic organ’ and I find engineering little organs creepy (though neat). If it’s just a super-probiotic I’m not creeped out! Either way I’m excited for all the people.
Thinking about a little synthetic organ chillin’ in there gives me heebie jeebies! So does my aunt’s pig heart valve though.
