CRISPR-Cas9 formally harnessed for genome editing; successes in editing eukaryotic cells. Targeted genome cleavage in human and murine cells demonstrated.
///medicine_and_biochemistry/18/1356998400
High-precision robotics used routinely as a surgical adjunct with limited AI augmentation, allowing the assistant to proactively help the surgeon within tight parameters.
///medicine_and_biochemistry/19/5767977600
Robot-assisted advanced suturing techniques allowing scar-free stitching post-surgery
///medicine_and_biochemistry/8/8808652800
Basic repair algorithms allow early nanites to repair localised damage and rejuvenate tissues in that coarsely targetted area.
///medicine_and_biochemistry/25/13986000000
A carefully engineered viscous liquid used to transport nanites and biochemicals into the body, ensuring smooth distribution across tissues and organs. Absorbable through mucuous membranes or skin without harming the body.
///medicine_and_biochemistry/23/14246755200
The use of nanotechnology in the medical field to diagnose, treat, and monitor diseases at the cellular and molecular level.
///medicine_and_biochemistry/3/14324169600
Advanced algorithms allow nanites to calculate the best course of action for rejuvenating tissue, eliminating cellular damage, and optimising regeneration across the body. Integration with regenerative nanites enables whole-body sychronised repair with real-time adjustments based on genetic feedback.

Earth is more or less a forgotten relic, an echo of what it once was, a permanent reminder of what humanity collectively did to it. The majority of power now rests firmly in the hands of the corporations, with most people relegated to a life worse than that of mere pawns in their sprawling operations. The chasm between the elite and the rest of the world has never been so wide. Crime is rampant, an inevitable by-product of inequality and corporate neglect. The privileged few continue to thrive in isolated havens beyond the planet's decaying surface - new worlds, new stations - but even these exist only at a steep price. For those left behind, the stakes couldn’t be lower. But for those with the means to rise, the game is far from over. The rules may have changed, but the struggle for power persists in the shadows of humanity's former home.
