Fascinating aspects of morphogenetic and behavioral plasticity of living material are revealed by novel constructs that self‐construct from genetically wild‐type cells. Anthrobots arise from cultured adult human airway epithelial cells, developing, becoming self‐motile, and acquiring neural repair capabilities without exogenous genetic circuits or...

Fundamental knowledge gaps exist about the plasticity of cells from adult soma and the potential diversity of body shape and behavior in living constructs derived from genetically wild‐type cells. Here anthrobots are introduced, a spheroid‐shaped multicellular biological robot (biobot) platform with diameters ranging from 30 to 500 microns and cili...

Fundamental knowledge gaps exist with respect to the plasticity of cells from adult soma and the potential diversity of body shape and behavior in living constructs derived from such genetically wild-type cells. Here we introduce Anthrobots, a spheroid-shaped multicellular biological robot (biobot) platform with diameters ranging from 30 to 500 mic...

Developmental bioelectricity is the study of the endogenous role of bioelectrical signaling in all cell types. Resting potentials and other aspects of ionic cell physiology are known to be important regulatory parameters in embryogenesis, regeneration, and cancer. However, relevant quantitative measurement and genetic phenotyping data are distribut...
