Xenobots, a type of programmable organism made from frog cells, can replicate by spontaneously sweeping up loose stem cells, researchers say. This could have implications for regenerative medicine.
Last year, scientists created Xenobots, tiny ‘machines’ engineered from frog stem cells. It turns out these organisms are capable of kinematic self-replication.
Scientists say they've witnessed a never-before-seen type of replication in organic robots created in the lab using frog cells. Among other things,
