Robotic fish made from human heart cells

Scientists at Harvard University and Emory University have developed automated fish with the help of human heart cells. According to experts, the fish is made from plastic, paper, gelatin and human heart muscle cells.

The swimming style of this heart-made fish is also like a heartbeat, the video of which has also been shared. Experts say that this revolutionary creation will also help in the treatment of heart diseases.

Experts say they had no idea how long it would last after the creation, but in the next phase of the robotic fish's 100-day swim, experts will try to keep these cells and tissues alive for longer.

This is first fully autonomous biohybrid fish made from human cardiac muscle cells. The artificial fish swims by recreating the muscle contractions of a pumping heart, bringing researchers one step closer to developing a complex artificial muscular pump https://t.co/aioJKFDZft pic.twitter.com/L7dJIRM7JR

According to research, the cells used in this experiment are stronger with exercise, which suggests that they may be used to treat heart failure.

Experts say they are using technology to find a cure for human diseases. They will also work on 3D fish and try to understand more about human organs.
