    A few months ago they used genetic engineering to cure a guys diabetes, meanwhile we just keep innovating new ways to give people diabetes

    I've gone through some lists of biotech patents and China is also by far the most advanced player in the skin and flesh transplant game. They've even worked out how to essentially drain the DNA from pig heart valves, leaving an empty extracellular matrix that can be recolonized by donor cells and made transplantable. Now they're starting to replicate these neutral matrices with 3d printing. Practically every single research paper I can find from the last ten years on cellular reprogramming, rejuvenation and age reversal includes a Zhang or a Zhao in the authors section.
