💁🏻♀️ TIL: Engineers at #ETHZurich built microscopic #nanorobots – only six micrometers wide, smaller than a red blood #cell – that combine neural #stemcells with magnetic nanoparticles that generate electrical signals.
In #mice with severed spinal cords, the #bots stimulated nerve fibers to reconnect. After 28 days, the mice showed major improvements in walking and coordination. Human trials are still years away.
