Cell squeezing

David Jones

Nature, 1999, vol. 397, issue 6719, 481-481

Abstract: Plants contain many useful substances — sugar, nicotine and steroids, for example — that are often tricky to extract, so Daedalus is developing supercritical cell culture. Because supercritical fluids are wonderful solvents, product molecules will diffuse out through the plant cell walls at an incredible rate. The technique could have applications in herbal medicine and even in genetic engineering.
