Scientists have created tiny moving biological robots from human tracheal cells that can encourage the growth of neurons across artificial ‘wounds’ in the lab. Using patients’ own cells could permit growth of Anthrobots that assist healing and regeneration in the future with no need for immune suppression. Lead researchers Prof Michael Levin and Gizem Gumuskaya from Tufts University will provide a brief commentary on the science and potential impact of this discovery, followed by Q&A with reporters.

One University of Kentucky researcher has helped solve a 60-year-old mystery about one of the body’s most vital organs: The heart. The research team has microscopically mapped out part of the heart. To put this microscopic level into perspective, if the heart is a continent, UK's Kenneth S. Campbell and fellow researchers are looking at single strands of hair.
One University of Kentucky researcher has helped solve a 60-year-old mystery about one of the body’s most vital organs: The heart. Kenneth S. Campbell, Ph.D., the director of translational research in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine in the UK College of Medicine, helped map out an important part of the heart on a molecular level. The study titled “Cryo-EM structure of the human cardiac myosin filament” was published online in the prestigious journal Nature earlier this month.
