This is pretty interesting, the reanimation of cells over an hour after the animal has died and long after science though it previously possible to reanimate dead cells

Cellular recovery after prolonged warm ischaemia of the whole body - Nature

OrganEx—an extracorporeal pulsatile-perfusion system with cytoprotective perfusate for porcine whole-body settings—preserved tissue integrity, decreased cell death and restored selected molecular and cellular processes across multiple vital organs after 1 h of warm ischaemia in pigs.

ok so let me gut this right, they will kill a bunch of spiders to use them as grippers or did I miss them saying they will use the idea to make something similar? I mean they mention them being biodegradable. I have so many questions like how long does a spider last after death? What is the grip strength and how much can it lift? etc etfc
