Biologists Create 'Zombie Cells'

[n4n0]

Obviously we've learned nothing from the multitude of zombie movies in the past decades.....

Biological researchers have created dead 'zombie' cells in the lab which outperform living cells.

Seriously.

A team at Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico have innovated a technique whereby mammalian cells are coated with silica to form a near-perfect replicas.

The silica replicants can survive greater pressures and temperatures than flesh, and perform many functions better than the original cells did when alive.

Wow, That is seriously Crazy was interesting though.

Why Would They Create Zombie Cells
Time to go in FPSRussia's Basement lol

First stop for me would be the arms room. Grab my M4, my M249, and a few cases of rounds.

Shut up you'd run like a little girl and hide

 

[GamerRoach]

I would probably do that lol
I would scream like a little girl and run in circles

lol'd


Thinking about it makes me feel uneasy. Obviously movies are a work of fiction but that fact does nothing to reassure me. I hope they take every precaution necessary.

this sounds like some superhuman like shit. sign me up for test trials nigga

This is just shitty reporting hype, just because a silica based cell operates better does not remind me of zombies in any way.

 

[Omerta]

They must have been playing to much Nazi Zombies >_>

Yeah. You got me. I'd hide and watch as you get eaten

Ryan just tell them you are Admin of sythe.org, they will leave you alone.

They all be like whoah dude, didn't know soz m8 ^_^

^The above statement is the best way to survive a Zombie Apocalypse.

on a srs. note tho, i wonder what the point of doing that is, like ok it works better than cells and lives longer, but obviously nobody's going to want to get injected with "Zombie" cells, and risk something terribly bad happening to them....(ok there might be a few but still..)

The most probable outcome I predict from this is that the government has now created these "zombie" cells and will use them to make "super-soldiers".

America has finally succeeded in following the ideals of Adolf Hitler.

In Hitler's Wehrmacht, methamphetamine tablets branded as Pervitin were liberally distributed to German fighting troops throughout the War. Amphetamines are "power drugs" that reduce fatigue, heighten aggression, and diminish human warmth and empathy.

With the super-soldiers that Hitler was unable to create with methamphetamine, America has created with "zombie" cells and thus, the new world order may just be soon to follow :O

This is just shitty reporting hype, just because a silica based cell operates better does not remind me of zombies in any way.

It does prove the possible existence of Silica based lifeforms though, which validates a lot of sci-fi I have read. haha.


Now we're going to have a bunch of conspiracy theorist go crazy, much like the one above me.

 

[Saint Grimm]

I'm not "going crazy" I'm not a "conspiracy theorist" in the context I freak out and fear the shit. I'm a conspiracy theorist in the context I believe it, but I dont give a flyin fuck. If they do it, they do it. New world order... Maybe they'll leave me alive for it, but I doubt it, still dont care

Well looks like its time to buy a giant boat and start stocking it up with food/supplies. oh and also recruit n4n0 to come protect me.
