Neurobots—xenobots with neurons—show self-organized nervous systems and enhanced behaviors, revealing new insights into how ...

Neurons from grafted stem cells contain intrinsic codes for navigating and forming connections, which may improve cell therapy for a brain short-circuited by stroke. Some parts of our bodies bounce ...

Scientists at Tufts University and the Wyss Institute have created 'neurobots'—living machines made from frog cells that develop their own nervous systems. The addition of neurons led to more complex ...

Webs of star-shaped cells called astrocytes connect distant parts of the brain, allowing long-distance exchange of molecules.

Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built exclusively using frog embryonic cells. Originally developed in the laboratories of ...

Your brain is the most complex structure in the known universe, and it’s a masterpiece of efficiency. It calculates ...

Glial cells in the Drosophila nervous system play indispensable roles in neural development, function, and homeostasis. These non-neuronal cells facilitate a range of processes, including the ...

Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain—they talk to it. In a new ...

Every organ in the body is made up of a range of cell types that must coordinate their size and shape throughout the lifetime of the animal to maintain correct organ architecture and function. A focus ...
