And then the big insight, which came from Yoshiki Sasai in Japan and Madeline Lancaster, was to take these neurons that were beginning to differentiate — cells relatively early in development — and put them in a drop of what's called Matrigel — a gel that can be either a liquid or a solid depending on the temperature.

To test the resilience of the polymer, the researchers encapsulated strands of DNA containing the encoded Jurassic Park theme music and a human’s entire genetic instruction book in the amberlike material and then exposed it to temperatures of 55° Celsius, 65° C and 75° C at 70 percent humidity over seven days.
