Cross-Kingdom Cellular Fusion: A Comprehensive Study of Mammalian Somatic Cell and Plant Protoplast Integration

This thesis explores fusing mammalian somatic cells with plant protoplasts to create a novel cellular hybrid. By investigating the principles of protoplast fusion, somatic cell fusion, and inter-kingdom compatibility, we aim to assess the feasibility of such experiments, potential applications, and the biological and technical challenges involved. The study further proposes solutions based on synthetic biology, bioengineering, and advanced molecular techniques.
