The world’s first living robots — known as “xenobots” — can now reproduce, US scientists have revealed.

Details about the robots, created using the heart and skin stem cells from the African clawed frog, were unveiled last year after experiments showed they could move and self-heal.

Now, the scientists at Tufts University, the University of Vermont and Harvard who made the xenobots say the tiny blobs can also self-replicate.

The results of the new research were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Monday.

Experiments showed that the organisms can swim out into their dish, find other single cells and assemble “baby” xenobots.

“This is profound,” added Michael Levin, co-leader of the research. “These cells have the genome of a frog, but, freed from becoming tadpoles, they use their collective intelligence, a plasticity, to do something astounding.”

The team said the new research could be beneficial for advancements in regenerative medicine.

“If we knew how to tell collections of cells to do what we wanted them to do, ultimately, that’s regenerative medicine — that’s the solution to traumatic injury, birth defects, cancer, and aging,” Levin said.

Interesting news and also scary. I don't really like scientists messing with genetics. I worry they're going to cause a plague or something. But if they can heal cancer than that is a plus.

That’s how I always see these news Devin, from the positive side because the negative side will always be present in military applications or simply on people who want to cause harm.
But the positive side of any new technology is that it will improve the human condition.

"Details about the robots, created using the heart and skin stem cells from the African clawed frog" Why do they call them robots?

Probably a catchy title but from their point of view they see them as “programmable cells” which can help treat diseases.
In another article I read that they can use these types of cells to build bridges … that self-repair themselves.
This is great news for many lazy Americans. :)

They have the what ..............................the what of a frog . THE GENOME .
The very THING that the vaccine itself affects in us . OUR GENOME . I never have liked the sound of that vaccine .
I wonder what could be reproducing in people , EVEN NOW as WE SPEAK . I tried to warn the masses not to touch
that genome altering thing . GOD HAS ME , THEY CAN KEEP THEY JAB .

I DONT EITHER my friend . ITS WHY I SHUNNED THE VACCINE . YOU KNOW the one that affects OUR GENOME .
I will be praying for you my friend , that GOD does not allow it to alter your genome in any way .
BUT MY ADVICE IS , DONT TAKE THE BOOSTER . STOP while you are ahead .

Gary, you come across so gullible. There are not merely benefits to actions. There are also drawbacks that can make things worse. Never heard of Jurassic Park?

You make me smile with your imagination fueled by conspiracy theories.
Progress cannot be stopped, it’s a human trait, we just have to learn how to deal with it.
For example we can’t un-know the atomic bomb, we just know NOT to use it because it will be the end of us.

Oy vey. Are you aware the term "Conspiracy Theory" was invented by the CIA to deflect their plans coming to light? Have you ever heard of a conspiracy theory that turned out to be conspiracy fact, such as the Muskegon Experiment? Being from Massachusetts, your trust of TPTB are higher than the average bear.

All of this is a distraction to you personally being aware of the risks of action and not be blinded by the marketing promise of a better tomorrow. It's not about conspiracy. Many things are out in the open. It's just that the dumbed down population cannot think about risks to action.

It’s okay. A few people here confuse Christianity with the Republican Party.
FOLKS aint gonna make it . SO long as they hold to religion and politcis they are subjects to the delusion and strifes of men .
The worst thing ever done was blending politcis in with religion . What a dangerous monster evolved .
The CC was born in darkness of religion and politics . BUT be on gaurd , cause it aint the only ONE doing this
THE NAR evanglicals are doing the same thing . And both sides are gonna meet IN THIS FALSE UNITY
and the greatest world state religoin will be born that will KILL anything that wont conform to said mindset .
Folks cannot see where this is leading . WE MUST HEED CHRIST and WE MUST focus on the gospel and bible doctrine .

Wise words.

Let’s all keep our eyes glued on Jesus and our noses in the KJV Bible.

In the days of nebb they made an image that the known world had to bow before .
In these last days they make an image and somehow this image has enough life to both speak
and cause that all who wont worship it , conform to be killed.
Just something to ponder on my friends.
