2. REprogramming : regenerative medicine
|
Requires no laboratory equipment or processing and can be applied easily at point-of-care and out in the field. The whole process occurs in less than a second, just by touching the chip onto the skin surface. “All you need is the chip, the reprogramming factors for the required cell type, and a power source,”
The Tissue Nanotransfection (TNT) technology has two major components: 1. A nanotechnology based chip hardware designed to deliver cargo to adult cells in the live body. 2. Is the design of specific biological cargo for cell conversion. Such cargo when delivered using the above hardware would convert an adult cell from one type to another of interest. TNT does not require any laboratory-based procedures and may be implemented at the point of care. The procedure is also non-invasive. |
