Anthrobots: Self-Assembling Biobots Revolutionize Regenerative Medicine

Dr. Michael Levin's team has created Anthrobots, autonomous biorobots constructed from adult human lung epithelial cells. Unlike previous Xenobots, Anthrobots, with their wild-type genome, self-assemble and exhibit diverse behaviors. Remarkably, clusters of Anthrobots can facilitate neural tissue repair, showcasing immense potential in regenerative medicine. This research challenges our understanding of cellular capabilities, opening new avenues for personalized medicine and novel bio-medical platforms.
