In recent years, many innovations have begun to be made, arising from the combination of artificial intelligence with technology. The latest experimental technology that emerges may be a great development for humanity.
Swiss scientists managed to trigger insulin production with a specially designed technology. Scientists have achieved this thanks to small electrical pulses.
Human genes can be electrically controlled!
Swiss scientists called this experimental technology they developed “electrogenetics”. This technology uses electrical pulses to activate target genes when we need help, thanks to wearable devices.
“Wearable devices cannot yet directly program gene-based therapies due to the lack of a direct electrogenetic interface,” the researchers wrote in their paper. Here we provide that missing link.” says.
For example, directly stimulating insulin production can help people with diabetes. In this study, human pancreatic cells were implanted in mice with type 1 diabetes and then stimulated using direct current from acupuncture needles.
With this method, the researchers were able to ensure that the blood sugar levels of the diabetic mice returned to the normal range. Of course, we’re still a long way from a Fitbit managing diabetes, but it still stands out as an achievement to be commended.
The research team says they can do much more than the technology can be improved and insulin production. So in the years to come, wearables can do much more than just control our health.
