In this episode, we explore how researchers at ETH Zurich developed microscopic robots that combine stem cells with magnetoelectric nanoparticles to repair damaged spinal cords. By using external magnetic fields to stimulate nerve regeneration, scientists helped injured zebrafish regain nearly normal swimming behavior and significantly improved mobility in mice, offering a promising new approach to treating paralysis without implanted electrodes.
