The answer to their question is already here: researchers have now advanced to “anthrobots”—biological machines derived from human tracheal cells. As detailed in a new study published ...

The trachea is also known as the windpipe. Tracheal deviation, or tracheal displacement, is when the trachea shifts from its usual position in the neck and chest to one side. It is a symptom ...
