Anthrobots: Tiny biobots from human cells heal neurons
Summary: Researchers have developed microscopic biological robots called ‘Anthrobots’ made from human tracheal cell. They show potential for healing and regenerative medicines.
The self-assembling robots are available in sizes ranging from a hair’s width to a pencil-point. They show remarkable healing effects in laboratory conditions, especially in the growth of neuron cells across damaged areas.
This study, based on Xenobot research from earlier, reveals that Anthrobots are created using adult human cells, without genetic modification. It offers a new way to create patient-specific therapeutic instruments.
