	This sounds too good to be true... "Researchers have developed a device that can switch cell function to rescue failing body functions with a single touch. The technology, known as Tissue Nanotransfection (TNT), injects genetic code into skin cells, turning those skin cells into other types of cells required for treating diseased conditions." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170807120530.htm

	There is a lot of "science" writing these days in which the title or headline does not match the contents of the article. __________________ In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.

	I could be wrong, but it sure sounds like a hoax. It's hard to tell, the articles are dumbed down for people like me that have no expertise in this area.
