Researchers at Yale University have created a blueprint for artificial cells that are more powerful and efficient than the natural cells they mimic and could one day be used to power tiny medical implants.
The scientists began with the question of whether an artificial version of the electrocyte – the energy-generating cells in electric eels – could be designed as a potential power source. “The electric eel is very efficient at generating electricity,” said Jian Xu, a postdoctoral associate in Yale’s Department of Chemical Engineering. “It can generate more electricity than a lot of electrical devices.”

By killing off "angry" immune cells that take up residence in obese fat
and muscle tissue, researchers have shown that they can rapidly reverse
insulin resistance in obese mice. The findings reported in the October
Cell Metabolism, suggest that treatments aimed at specific subsets of
the so-called macrophage cells might offer a very effective new
antidiabetic therapy, according to the researchers.
