The robot can now cultivate human organs quickly

US scientists have developed an automated system that uses robots to create miniature stem cells from stem cells.

According to the Science Daily, this is accomplished by scientists from the University of Washington School of Medicine. The ability to mass-produce human miniature organs opens the door to the widespread use of such organ transplants in basic research and drug therapy.

"This is a new" secret weapon "in our fight against disease , " said researcher Benjamin Freedman, a member of the research team.

Previously, scientists used to study biomedical research by culturing them in flat surface conditions in the laboratory.

However, it is so simple that they can not simulate how the actual cells work.

Recently, researchers have found a way to successfully cultivate these cells into more complex 3D structures called mini-bodies.

This accomplishment makes them able to produce miniaturized versions of organs at much faster speeds. It is also the first time researchers have been able to produce mass versions of miniature stem cell transplants.

Freedman shared about the convenience of robots in the process: " It is usually only a matter of setting up a trial process that will consume the researcher for the whole day, while the robot only does so in the process. 20 minutes".

"Obviously, with robotic and repetitive tasks like this, robots can do better than humans , " Freedman said.
