Scientists have developed a new bionic computer chip that can coincide with human cells to combat disease. The tiny device, smaller and thinner than a stand of hair, combines a healthy human cell with an electronic circuit chip. Doctors can control the activity of the cell by controlling the chip with a computer. It has long been established that cell membranes become permeable when exposed to electrical impulses. Researchers gave conducted genetic research for years with a trial-and-error process of bombarding cells with electricity in an attempt to introduce foreign substances such as new drug treatments or genetic material. They were unable to apply a particular level of voltage for a particular purpose. With the new invention, the computer sends electrical impulses to the chip, which triggers the cell in order to correct disease tissues. It permits physicians to open a cell’s pores with control. Researchers hope that eventually they will be able to develop more advanced chips whereby they can choose a particular voltage to activate particular tissues, whether they be muscle, bone, brain, or others. They believe that they will be able to implant multiple chips into a person to deal with one problem or more than one problem.
