    Default programming language for biological circuits

    holy shit, have you seen this?

    https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0331154001.htm

    so many biological (especially DNA hacking) advances in the recent 5 years.
    sometimes i wish i choosed to study biology science back then.

    first i thought this must be an april fool but then noticed the date stamp from 31th march.

    Crap it doesn't seem public. I'd love to try it. Where is it?!?

    amazing advances... don't know how they would use this technology to stop MPB. you have any ideas?

    If that's what it sounds like to this non-biologist then it's quite astonishing. Could be the start of a revolution.

    as always probably nobody will apply this to make something useful for hair.
    but it sounds like you can take some e.coli (later other organisms too) and engineer them in a way that they e.g. neutralize DHT or convert it to other harmless substances, or release some growth factors like WNT and so on.

    not sure what limitations there are, but it really seems like a revolution here. you basically can play with the organisms and engineer them to do very useful things, depending on what stimulus they get. and if someone manages to engineer some useful functions out of it and verify it in the lab first, what is stopping us from injecting it into our scalps?
    now we need some knowledgeable people here with a PhD in biology to engineer some useful things. in theory, this is a tool which can be used by us now (or soon) to tackle the problem with our own ideas and trials. there could be so many good ways to engineer nice stuff which could really turn out successful.
    let's give this thing a thought. any biologists here?

    Its not a joke but again decades away from any practical application if ever especially for hairloss. These overly simplified articles are kind of pointless. There could be hundreds of things that need to happen after this to lead to a practical treatment or advancement of anything. Who knows
