Scientists Build Biological Robots From Human Cells

Scientists have engineered tiny robots made from human cells, called anthrobots, that can potentially heal wounds, regenerate tissue, and treat diseases. Using adult human cells, these bio-bots can self-assemble, move on their own, and help repair damaged regions of neurons. They show immense potential for therapeutic applications and can safely biodegrade within 60 days. The […]

An AI Tool Just Revealed Almost 200 New Systems for CRISPR Gene Editing

CRISPR is a gene editing system that scientists are continually searching to improve. A team at MIT and Harvard used AI to narrow down billions of genetic sequences to find potential new CRISPR-based systems. They discovered thousands of new biological parts, some of which could provide better precision and fewer side effects in gene editing. […]
