Robotic implants spur tissue regeneration inside the body.

Robots residing inside the body to restore or enhance biological function have long been a hope for the future. Developing such robotic implants poses challenges both in signaling between the implant and the biological host, as well as in implant design.  Now, a study from researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital develops a programmable, implantable medical robot with the ability to stimulate tissue growth in stunted … Continue reading Robotic implants spur tissue regeneration inside the body.
