Self-Replicating Bioreactors

Meaning

Self-replicating bioreactors is a highly advanced, theoretical concept in synthetic biology and regenerative medicine that envisions living cells, often modified microbial or human cell lines, engineered to autonomously proliferate and continuously produce a desired therapeutic compound within the body. These bioreactors are designed to function as living, self-sustaining factories that maintain a stable, long-term supply of a hormone, peptide, or enzyme without the need for repeated external administration. The ultimate goal is to achieve biological self-regulation and therapeutic permanence.
