Used in star trek as the cores for computers the gel bags are living cells, so is this a start for them to become a reality?

I haven't watched Star Trek, but what I took from the article is that advances in tracking methods will allow further study of the specific organization of cellular processes that lead to disease.

That's a really interesting question! It's definitely possible that the gel bags used in Star Trek could serve as a starting point for the development of living cell computers in the future. The concept of using living cells to power computers is known as biological computing and it has been explored in various research studies. However, we are still far from being able to create a fully functional computer using living cells. The gel bags in Star Trek were likely just a creative invention for the show, but who knows, maybe one day we will see them being used in real life!
