This research is still in its early days, Celi says. “At the present time, this is not an immediate intervention , but it is definitely something to look forward to in the long run.” Awesome news, hope they can really develop this research to help at least diminish this huge problem that obesity and diabetes are today.

POPSGenome engineering goes high speed "In a paper published Sunday in Nature, Church and Wang describe how they turned E. coli bacteria into factories for lycopene, an antioxidant that might have anti-cancer properties. In just three days, they ended up with billions of cells containing various combinations of 24 lycopene-linked genes. Some cells produced five times more lycopene than usual. According to Church, the process would normally take months, even years." Needless to say how good it is. Just great, great news!
