Researchers at Tufts University and Harvard University's Wyss Institute have developed Anthrobots, tiny biological robots crafted from human tracheal cells that can traverse surfaces and stimulate ...

Researchers have used human tracheal cells to create tiny biological robots that can move on their own and work together to encourage healing in damaged neurons without requiring genetic modifications ...

Researchers at Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute have created tiny biological robots that they call Anthrobots from human tracheal cells that can move across a surface and have ...

Surgeons at New York City-based Mount Sinai performed the world’s first human tracheal transplant during an 18-hour procedure in January, marking the launch of its tracheal transplant program, the ...

An anthrobot is shown, depth colored, with a corona of cilia that provides locomotion for the bot. Xenobots—a new classification of robots built from biological cells—evolved from theory to reality in ...

Very small things can cause very big things to go wrong in the human body, so developing tools to target these miniscule areas is vital. In a study by Harvard biologists, new multicellular robots ...

A robot that "smokes" its cigarette like a human when setting a cigarette in parts like a gatling gun was developed by Wyeth Applied Biology Engineering Laboratory. Since the aspirated smoke passes ...

Science has been exploring the idea of putting tiny robots inside the human body, assigning them tasks ranging from delivering drugs at target spots and performing surgery to 3D-printing inside living ...

Researchers have now taken a step toward that vision of molecular systems that repair cells inside the human body. Molecular repair built from a patient’s own cells will eventually ferret out cancer, ...
