Scientists have built a school of robotic fish powered by human heart cells.
The fish, which swim on their own, show how lab-grown heart tissue can be designed to maintain a rhythmic beat indefinitely, a team reports in the journal Science.
“It’s a training exercise,” says Kit Parker, a professor of bioengineering and applied physics at Harvard. “Ultimately, I want to build a heart for a sick kid.”
