Hence, development of technologies capable of effectively overcoming these barriers for delivery of cell engineering materials, while preserving critical cell functions, is vital to success. (weforum.org)
Such materials can be patterned with live cells engineered to sense environmental chemicals and pollutants as well as changes in pH and temperature. (sciencedaily.com)
Another possibility is attaching the contrast agent to immune cells engineered to attack a patient's tumor, allowing the cells to be tracked inside the body. (sciencedaily.com)
