Groundbreaking Research Reveals ‘Third State’ of Cells After Death

Scientists have discovered a ‘third state’ of cells that allows them to exhibit new functionalities even after death, challenging traditional biological concepts. This groundbreaking research, led by biologists Peter Nobel and Alex Pozhitkov, reveals the adaptability of cells known as xenobots and anthrobots, which can reorganize and thrive post-mortem. Their findings, published in the journal Physiology, suggest that cellular systems possess a remarkable plasticity, opening new avenues for regenerative medicine and our understanding of life and death.
