Team Jupiter 501 meetings

At our most recent meeting, we first began by sharing what we had found and traded ideas. Many ideas had come from us studying from the test.

Some conclusions:
It takes very little exchange of sodium to change the membrane potential. Our textbook lists an example of what is necessary. It's actually very surprising.

Because the nature of ours cells is to sluff off very quickly, our treatment will require continuous treatment, most likely oral.

We are looking into biomimetics to copy E. Coli. as a way for our nanomachines to find and attach to the cell walls in the GI track.

We have discussed how our nanomachine is to cross into the cell membrane, but I will not mention that here because I don't know how in depth I'm supposed to be in this blog.

We've decided one advantage to our cell type is that because our nano machines are replenished quickly, an internal power supply is practical. We need not be concerned about drawing power from some cellular/biological force. Because it only needs to be powered for a few days at most, a traditional chemical power source would be practical.

Finally, we all decided the most logical way of solving our problem is: Magic.
