Synthetic Morphology & Biobots Wound Healing & Tissue Repair

Human airway cells self-assemble into "anthrobots" that help neurons regrow

Clusters grown from adult human tracheal cells formed motile, cilia-driven constructs, and in a dish, groups of them encouraged neurons to grow across a scratched area.

Synthetic Morphology & Biobots

Xenobots gather loose cells into new copies of themselves

Some xenobot shapes sweep loose frog stem cells into piles that mature into new motile constructs, a form of replication the authors call kinematic self-replication.
