Algae on the brain in bioengineering.

Kerney R , Cherubino M , Bender Z .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Özugur et al. recently pushed the boundaries of augmented physiology through artificial symbioses. They microinjected algal cultures into tadpole (Xenopus laevis) hearts. The resulting capillary-bound algae produced physiologically relevant levels of oxygen, which could rescue neuronal hypoxia. This work contributes to the growing field of artificial photosymbioses.
