Tiny robots made from human cells heal damaged tissue

  • Scientists have created tiny biological robots called Anthrobots from human tracheal cells that can move in a lab dish and potentially help heal wounds or damaged tissue.
  • The anthrobots encouraged growth of neurons in a damaged region, but the healing mechanism is not yet understood. Future applications could include clearing arteries, breaking up mucus, or drug delivery.
  • The anthrobots are made from adult human tracheal cells and have a limited lifespan. They are not genetically modified and have no safety concerns.

Scientists at Tufts University and Harvard University have created tiny biological robots from human tracheal cells. According to an article published in the journal Advanced Science, anthrobots can move across the surface of other cells in different ways and stimulate cell growth at the site of nerve tissue damage. The study is a continuation of a previous experiment in which scientists developed multicellular biological robots called xenobots …
