Researchers create artificial cells that act like living cells (phys.org)
In a new study published in Nature Chemistry, UNC-Chapel Hill researcher Ronit Freeman and her colleagues describe the steps they took to manipulate DNA and proteins—essential building blocks of life—to create cells that look and act like cells from the body.
…
“The synthetic cells were stable even at 122 degrees Fahrenheit, opening up the possibility of manufacturing cells with extraordinary capabilities in environments normally unsuitable to human life,” Freeman says.
This is just the thing for the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101.

The year is 2024 and technology is doing incredible things. For the first time ever, you can purchase a walking robot dog with a flame thrower on its back.
Prepare appropriately.

Yes, okay, that’s cool … but can we get some sharks with frickin’ laser beams on their heads? 😀
We’re well on the way:

We live in interesting times.
Cells stable at 122 F — what’s the big deal? Those have been around for ages, look up “extremophile” organisms such as are found in hot springs, and near volcanic vents in the ocean. I think there are even organisms (single cell at least) that live happily in some nuclear reactors.
Flame shooting robot dog = ATF agents nightmare.
Or gun owners.
The Branch Davidian could tell you why… if only they were still alive.
At 122 F.? Means your body won’t be able to kill them. As fever is the body’s last resort way of killing off clusters of unwanted cells.
122 would fry every cell in the human body before those died. So, once your infected. It’s going to be with you up till cremation.
With this brand of stupid running the world? We ain’t going to make it.
And what’s the battery life on those dogs?
308, definitely sticking with 308.
