Anthrobots: Tiny Biobots From Human Cells Heal Neurons

Source: Google News - HealthResearchers have created tiny biological robots that they call "anthrobots" from human tracheal cells that can move across a surface and encourage the growth of neurons across a region of damage. The multicellular robots, ranging in size from the width of a human hair to the point of a sharpened pencil, have a remarkable healing effect on other cells and may one day be used as therapeutic tools for regeneration, healing, and treatment of disease.
