Scientists create tiny bio-robots that heal human body
In the future, a bio-machine built from a patient’s own cells will travel across the body, searching for cancers, repairing damaged tissue, delivering drugs, and even removing plaque from blood vessels. At least, that’s where it all seems to be going.
A team at Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute announced its latest creation – anthrobots. These are self-propelled organoids made from adult human cells without any genetic modification that show remarkable healing effects, particularly in neuron growth across damaged areas in lab conditions. However, researchers think they can enhance these bio-robots’ potential by modifying their genomes for desired functions such as delivering cancer drugs or screening for diseases.
Anthrobots are already proving more medically promising than their ‘xenobot’ forebears, which were the first living robots created from stem cells sourced from embryos of the African clawed frog by the same team of researchers.
