  When a foreign object enters a cell, the cell interprets it as foreign and tries to dissolve it using lysosomes. The cell can differentiate foreign and non-foreign macromolecules. What prevents us from developing artificial organelles that can perform multiple tasks and work more efficiently than the natural ones we have now?
