Scientists create living robots with customizable movement powered by human lung cells
Carnegie Mellon scientists create AggreBots, tiny lung-cell robots powered by cilia with controlled motility.Word excerpt: ...
A coronavirus infection can mow down the forests of hairlike cilia that coat our airways, destroying a crucial barrier to keeping the virus from lodging deep in the lungs. Normally, those cilia move ...
A system of artificial cilia capable of monitoring mucus conditions in human airways to better detect infection, airway obstruction, or the severity of diseases like Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Chronic ...
While studies have shown that the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, enters cells through a receptor called ACE2 (and potentially other receptors such as TMPRSS2), research has now revealed new ...

AggreBots: Tiny living robots made from lung cells could one day deliver medicine inside the body
A brand-new engineering approach to generate "designer" biological robots using human lung cells is underway in Carnegie Mellon University's Ren lab. Referred to as AggreBots, these microscale living ...
Growth plates (GP), situated at the ends of long bones in children, supply chondrocytes necessary for bone growth. Damage to the growth plate due to fractures often results in arrested bone growth, ...
