Enhancing Immunotherapy with Genetic and Epigenetic Modifications
30:54 - 35:27 (04:33)
The use of genetic and epigenetic modifications in immunotherapy has the potential to enhance efficacy, similar to the way protective suits keep astronauts safe in space. By modifying T cells or natural killer cells with receptor changes, this therapy has the ability to combat diseases like cancer.

The suggestion of adding genetic or epigenetic modifications for organisms in space to be switched on and off would offer protection, just like protective suits worn by astronauts.
30:54 - 32:39 (01:45)
Summary
The suggestion of adding genetic or epigenetic modifications for organisms in space to be switched on and off would offer protection, just like protective suits worn by astronauts. This approach could prevent any organism from inhibiting the ability of another organism to live or serve as guardians or shepherds of other life forms.
