"It's like a reset button on a computer," Schett said. "You just take everything away, you shut it down, and then it reboots in a normal way and it doesn't have these [autoimmune] B cells anymore." ...

While living cells are more complex than the synthetic ones created by the Freeman Lab, they are also more unpredictable and more susceptible to hostile environments, like severe temperatures.
