TL;DR Summary

Scientists have developed tiny robots, called anthrobots, made of human cells that have the potential to repair damaged neural tissue. These self-assembling anthrobots, made from human tracheal cells, were able to heal a scratch in a layer of neurons in the lab. The researchers believe that these anthrobots, derived from a person's own tissue, could be used for various medical applications such as clearing arteries, breaking up mucus, delivering drugs, and even regrowing limbs in the future.
