ETH Zurich microrobots reconnect severed spinal cords in mice

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed biohybrid microrobots, termed NPCbots, capable of reconnecting severed spinal cords in mice. These robots combine neural progenitor cells with magnetic nanoparticles, allowing them to be guided by an external magnetic field to facilitate spinal cord repair. AI
