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.

Tiny living robots made from human cells surprise scientists

By Katie Hunt, CNN (CNN) — Scientists have created tiny living robots from human cells that can move around in a lab dish and may one day be able to help heal wounds or damaged tissue, according to a new study. A team at Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute have dubbed these creations anthrobots. The research builds on earlier work from some of the same scientists, who made the first living robots, or xenobots, from stem cell…

Estos minirobots vivos fabricados con células humanas sorprenden a los científicos

Valeria Ordóñez (CNN) — Un grupo de científicos creó robots vivos en miniatura a partir de células humanas que pueden moverse en una placa de laboratorio y, algún día, podrían ayudar a curar heridas o tejidos dañados, según señaló un nuevo estudio. Un equipo de la Universidad de Tufts y del Instituto Wyss de la Universidad de Harvard ha llamado a estas creaciones “anthrobots”. La investigación se basa en trabajos anteriores de algunos de los mis…
