If we can reprogram cells to do some extra work (f.e. reprogram T-cells to clean vessel walls or kill cancer cells, or clean tau-proteins etc) it would be really great. The part with killing cancer cells is already developing btw (CAR-T). Machine learning should help with that.
Useful functions might include:
- To modify the genome to give cells new abilities - to eat and break down oxidized lipoproteins in the walls of atherosclerotic vessels, to dissolve calcium deposits there
- to kill cancer cells (hello CAR-T)
- to eat tau-protein aggregates in the brain, etc.
- Replace old cells by reprogrammed stem cells progeny.
- Being in the blood, regulate its parameters.
- Being in the blood, more effectively destroy cancer cells when metastasis is attempted.
