Researchers developed a new approach to treating spinal cord injuries: controllable microrobots delivering stem cells directly to the site of an injury.
Spinal cord injuries can have devastating consequences for those affected. Nerve cells in the spinal cord rarely regenerate naturally, while scarring often prevents the regrowth of nerve fibers.
Modern therapies attempt to influence implanted stem cells using electrical stimulation to promote the growth of new nerve cells. This approach has seve
