Scientific India
|November - December 2023
Living robots might sound like an oxymoron, but they're here, and they're challenging everything we know about biotechnology. Xenobots are computer-generated, programmable lifeforms made out of stem cells harvested from the African frog, Xenopus laevis.

Making human robots is a front runner scientific and technological research and making of tiny living human robots from human cells may be a new scientific discovery but our mythology has full such stories of making human similar robots but without any sound base of the scientific or technological concepts. Just to mention that in the famous Ramayana and Mahabharata epics, we always come to know about the creation of human robots by great warriors like Ravana and Meghanath (Inderjit) during the fierce battle in order to dupe the enemy. They are mentioned to create their similar (human robots) to disguise the opponents. The difference was said to be that such robots were without blood i.e. no bleeding used to take place from these similar when they were heart. However, other things were just similar to thereal human. Scientists are also eagerly working on the concept to make human robots and recently significant advances have taken place in this direction.

Gut Microbes and Yoga: The Hidden Harmony for Healthy Aging and Well-Being
The human gut is home to trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea. In fact, the number of microbial cells in your body might outnumber your human cells by about 10 to 1! About 70% of your immune system is located in your gut. Your gut microbes help train your immune system to differentiate between harmful invaders and harmless substances, thus playing a big role in preventing autoimmune diseases. Just like a rainforest, the gut microbiota is a diverse and complex ecosystem. A healthy gut has a balanced mix of different types of microbes, which can help prevent the overgrowth of harmful bacteria.
