Anthrobots start out as a single cell covered in hair-like cilia. When grown in the lab, scientists encouraged these cilia to face outward on lab-grown organoids.

Since they’re not made from human cells, xenobots can’t be used to treat humans, writes Nature News ’ Matthew Hutson. But the anthrobots in the new study could, theoretically.

The researchers created the anthrobots using adult human cells from the trachea, or windpipe. These cells are covered in hairy filaments called cilia that wriggle and push away foreign material.
