Credit: Shanghai Key Laboratory of Regulatory BiologySchematic showing the use of a smartphone to control genetically engineered cells as a diabetes treatment in mice. By combining electronic device–generated digital signals with optogenetically engineered cells, this study provides a step toward translating cell-based therapies into the clinic. To develop this wireless controller network, we designed and implanted hydrogel capsules carrying both engineered cells and wirelessly powered FRL LEDs (light-emitting diodes).

Scientists have successfully engineered cells to produce insulin under the command of a smartphone, helping keep blood sugar levels within normal limits in diabetic mice. "Successfully linking digital signals with engineered cells represents an important step toward translating similar cell-based therapies into the clinic," researchers said. The result was a closed-loop system in which the glucose metre automatically conducted glucose testing on a periodic basis.
