Some cells can enter a 'third state that lies beyond the traditional boundaries of life and death.' Here's how.
Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a "third state" that lies beyond the ...
Biobots arise from the cells of dead organisms − pushing the boundaries of life, death and medicine
Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a ...
