Xenobots Unleashed
Michael explores the fascinating world of xenobots, which emerge from frog skin cells when isolated from their typical environment. These cells, once limited to their role as a protective layer, demonstrate remarkable adaptability by forming autonomous creatures capable of self-replication. This groundbreaking research challenges conventional views on genetic determinism and highlights the potential for cells to reinvent their functions in new contexts.In this clip
