Micro Musclebot: Wee walker moves by heart cells' beats

Peter Weiss

 

In a Los Angeles laboratory, researchers have let loose scores of what amount to living micromachines. Dwarfed by a comma, each tiny device consists of an arch of gold coated along its inner surface with a sheath of cardiac muscle grown from rat cells. With each of the muscle bundles' automatic cycles of contraction and relaxation, the device takes a step.

 

Viewed under a microscope, "they move very fast," says bioengineer Jianzhong Xi of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). "The first time I saw that, it was kind of scary."

 

Xi and his UCLA colleagues Jacob J. Schmidt and Carlo D. Montemagno describe their musclebots in the February Nature Materials.

 

Microcontraptions of this sort may someday make pinpoint deliveries of drugs to cells or shuttle minuscule components during the manufacture of other itsy machines or structures, Xi says. Variations on the same design could lead to muscle-driven power supplies for microdevices or laboratory test beds for studying properties of muscle tissue.

 

Because the musclebot is both minuscule and designed to operate in body fluids, "this is the Fantastic Voyage kind of thing" that might someday roam the bloodstream and carry out on-the-spot surgery or disease treatments, comments physicist James Castracane of the State University of New York in Albany.

 

In the past, researchers have incorporated living muscle tissue into much larger machines. For instance, several years ago, a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology demonstrated a palm-size device, called the biomechatronic fish, that swam under the power of muscle tissue extracted from frogs' legs.

 

However, transferring fully developed muscles from an organism to a micromachine is impractical, notes Xi. Instead, the UCLA engineers grew a thin film of heart-muscle tissue directly on their device.

 

The researchers used chip-industry methods, which would be harmful to living cells, to construct temporary supporting beams on a silicon chip. Next, they deposited a biocompatible polymer, a layer of gold, and

Sorry if it qualifies as a spoiler but I thought that was a widespread rumor. Besides it tells nothing about how Jar Jar ends up on Alderaan.

 

In any case: Consider how much JarJar's role had been 'reduced' in AotC. Lucas must have responded to fan criticism: Not only did he appear for a short period, but managed to hand over the galaxy to Palpatine in the few lines that he had.

Just because you're a bit thinner than your even fatter mum it doesn't mean you're in excellent physical shape, if you could fit through the door and view the normal people you'd notice that cheeseburger boy. Squid suck.
