According to a recent EurekAlert! article, researchers at Tufts University and Harvard University's Wyss Institute have developed tiny biological robots, called Anthrobots, from human tracheal cells. The multicellular bots, ranging from the width of a human hair to the point of a sharpened pencil, were self-assembled and demonstrated a remarkable healing effect on cultured neurons in a lab dish. Unlike previous Xenobots created from frog embryo cells, the Anthrobots were constructed from adult human cells without genetic modification.
