Scientists warn of risks from man-made mirror life organisms to immune health

Scientists are raising alarms about man-made organisms with molecules that are mirror images of natural ones. These "mirror life" forms could pose risks to human, animal, and environmental health. While creating these organisms may take a decade, researchers have already developed mirror-image biological systems for potential drug use. Concerns center on the possibility that these mirror bacteria could bypass natural immune defenses, leading to unchecked infections in various hosts.
