Magnetoelectric microrobots for spinal cord injury regeneration (opens in new tab)  8 articles covering this post

Spinal cord injury remains difficult to treat because of the intrinsically limited regenerative capacity of neurons. Although neural progenitor cell (NPC) therapies are promising, inadequate graft survival, uncontrolled differentiation and weak functional integration continue to restrict outcomes. Here we report biohybrid microrobots called NPCbots, fabricated by integrating human-induced pluripotent-stem-cell-derived NPCs with magnetoelectric nanoparticles, enabling wireless magnetic navigat...
