		<description><![CDATA[Korean researchers report the development of a robot powered by heart muscle cells from a rat. The researchers coated a biocompatible polymer with heart cells that pulse in synchony in the presence of glucose, obviating the need for an external power supply. These beating cells permit the robot to move its six legs. The robot has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Advances in Synthetic Biology Conference will be held from March 6-7, 2008, in Cambridge, U.K. Synthetic biology is an emerging discipline that aims to meld engineering principles with biology in order to modify biological pathways in predictable ways. Ultimately, the design of artificial life may be possible. The field of synthetic biology still has broad definitions. [...]]]></description>
