Astonishing Anthrobots 🦠 If you want nanobots to circulate in your bloodstream to fight cancer or repair tissues, how might you avoid the immune system? Build multicellular self-assembling biobots out of the patient’s own cells, specifically tracheal cells that have wisps of cilia that can be repurposed to make them motile, like the flagella of a bacterium. That’s what Astonishing Labs, led by @DrMichaelLevin at Tufts, has done. And the Anthrobots did something surprising — they traversed living brain tissue to efficiently heal a physical slice through a neural layer. “The work is amazing, and groundbreaking. The creation of these living devices opens the way to personalized medicine.” — Latest Science: science.org/content/articl… FD: we are one of the first investors in AstonishingLabs.com





















Levin is revolutionising (or at least very powerfully disrupting and expanding) medicine, biology and philosophy simultaneously. An incredible, world-changing scientist.
