The other rows of
cells
are empty… for now.
The rabbits are hermaphroditic, and each rabbit in a given cell will breed once with every rabbit in the horizontally adjacent cells, producing exactly one offspring each time.
The newborn rabbits will drop into the cell directly below the two
cells
of its parents, and within minutes will mature and reproduce in turn.
The number of rabbits in each cell is the product of the number of rabbits in each of the two
cells
above it.
So let’s take the numbers in the fourth and fifth
cells
and multiply down from there.
20 and 30 each have one zero, so the product of both
cells
will have two trailing zeros, while the product of either cell and an adjacent non-zero-ending cell will have only one.
The DNA contained in our genes acts like an instruction manual for our
cells.
This molecule plays many roles in our cells, but in the case of CRISPR, RNA binds to a special protein called Cas9.
CRISPR could create plants that yield larger fruit, mosquitoes that can’t transmit malaria, or even reprogram drug-resistant cancer
cells.
We found activity in some
cells
called the A10 cells,
cells
that actually make dopamine, a natural stimulant, and spray it to many brain regions.
It shows you these
cells
that process information.
And they figured out all the different cells, and they figured out the network, and we just took that network and we used it as the blueprint for the design of a silicon chip.
There are these
cells
that detect change and you move your attention to it.
We still give patients chemotherapy, which is so non-specific that even though it kills the cancer cells, it kind of kills the rest of your body, too.
Immune
cells
are these versatile vehicles that travel throughout our body, patrolling for signs of disease and arriving at a wound mere minutes after injury.
So I ask you guys: If immune
cells
are already traveling to places of injury or disease in our bodies, why not add an extra passenger?
Why not use immune
cells
to deliver drugs to cure some of our biggest problems in disease?
I am a biomedical engineer, and I want to tell you guys a story about how I use immune
cells
to target one of the largest problems in cancer.
So if we can stop these cancer
cells
from going from the primary tumor to a distant site, we can stop cancer right in its tracks and give people more of their lives back.
Trail is a therapeutic drug that kills cancer
cells
but not normal
cells.
So what we did was we injected the nanoparticles, and they bound almost immediately to the immune
cells
in the bloodstream.
And then we injected the cancer
cells
to mimic a process through which cancer
cells
spread throughout our bodies.
We found that in our treated group, over 75 percent of the cancer
cells
we initially injected were dead or dying, in comparison to only around 25 percent.
So just imagine: these fewer amount of
cells
were available to actually be able to spread to a different part of the body.
Now, our fast-acting results were pretty interesting, but we still had one lingering question: Can our sticky balls, our particles actually attached to the immune cells, actually stop the spread of cancer?
Our primary tumors were smaller in our treated animals, there were fewer
cells
in circulation, and there was little to no tumor burden in the distant organs.
And I talked about cancer, but where disease goes, so do immune
cells.
Imagine using immune
cells
to deliver crucial wound-healing agents after a spinal cord injury, or using immune
cells
to deliver drugs past the blood-brain barrier to treat Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease.
And they concentrate on using
cells.
Likewise, the brain’s model of the physical body keeps track of the configuration of our limbs, but not of individual
cells
or even muscles, because that level of information isn’t needed to plan movement.
