Figure 1
Overview of the human genome. Gene and gene-related sequences cover 37.5% of the human genome, while genome-wide repeats constitute 43.75%. The remaining 18.75% are intergenic regions.
Figure 2
Examples of symbio-bots (A–D) that can be created in a bioinspired way (E). Each device is separated with a smart porous packaging that allows a duplex communication. Therapeutic cells (A and B) need a porous encapsulation that avoids an immune reaction and allows protection from both sides. They may be human cells, as MSC or specialized cells such as β-cell from Langherans islets (A), or other eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells (B). Panel C shows an IBFC linked to an electronic medical device. Panel D shows a generic device delivering a therapeutic molecule. Panel E: Existing symbiosis (i.e., microbiota or pregnancy) are a source of bio-inspiration to establish a duplex communication between the body and its implants. Regenerative medicine should embrace this concept of bioinspiration for a better design and integration of implants, especially for future symbio-bots.
