Scientists Discover ‘Third State’ Beyond Life and Death in Major Breakthrough
We have always believed that death was a definitive end. But what if some cells were able to survive, restructure and even transform themselves after the death of the organism? This idea, which seems to come straight out of a science fiction novel, is now at the heart of scientific research.
Biologists have recently discovered that some cells, far from disappearing immediately after death, can regroup and form new functional structures. This phenomenon raises fascinating questions about biology and could revolutionize medicine.
Cells that refuse to die
The idea of a “third state” between life and death is based on a surprising observation: some cells remain active long after the death of the organism. This phenomenon has already been demonstrated in organ transplants, where cells survive and function despite the death of the donor.
Researchers wanted to go further by studying these cells from a new angle. In particular, they observed that skin cells taken from dead frog embryos could group together and formerly form living structures called xenobots. These xenobots were not simple isolated cells: they could move and perform certain tasks, suggesting a form of life emerging after death.
