Anthrobots: Living Structures Made from Human Cells
Researchers assembled motile multicellular structures from human airway cells and studied their behaviour in a laboratory setting. They are not a clinical therapy.
Anthrobots are motile multicellular assemblies made from human airway cells under laboratory conditions. Their behaviour illustrates how familiar cells can organise into unexpected forms outside their usual tissue context.
These experiments are exploratory basic research; laboratory motility or repair-like observations should not be described as established human treatments.
