The limited ability of microrobots to assist drugs in entering cells hinders their therapeutic efficacy. To address this, the cancer-targeting molecule folic acid (FA) was introduced to microrobots to promote drug uptake by cancer cells via receptor-ligand-mediated endocytosis. This results in a drug delivery system that can locate lesion areas with magnetic fields and deliver loaded drugs into the cytoplasm through endocytosis. The team published their findings in the Journal of Cyborg and Bion...

Due to their flexibility, including their use in the detection and treatment of diseases, carbon-based stimuli-responsive nanomaterials are attracting a lot of interest.

Carbon-based stimuli-responsive nanomaterials are gaining much attention due to their versatility, including disease diagnosis and treatment. They work under endogenous (pH, temperature, enzyme, and redox) or exogenous (temperature, light, magnetic field, ultrasound) stimuli. Carbon-based stimuli-responsive nanomaterials can be used as smart materials with dynamically tunable physicochemical properties in response to changes in internal or external environmental stimuli. Their diverse combinatio...

The high mortality rate and rising prevalence are well-known facts of cancers. Lung cancer is undoubtedly one of the most severe of them all.

Imagine you have a cockroach and you want it to act like a remote-controlled robot. What do you do? Stick electrodes in its brain, apparently.

Researchers recently implanted tiny electrodes in cockroach brains to help steer their movements. The advances could help save lives.

Researchers have examined the advantages of employing soft robotic systems and humanoid musculoskeletal robots as bioreactor platforms to create clinically effective tendon constructions.

A review paper by scientists at the University of Oxford discussed possible benefits of using humanoid musculoskeletal robots and soft robotic systems as bioreactor platforms in producing clinically useful tendon constructs.

A review paper by scientists at the Zhejiang University summarized the development of continuum robots from the aspects of design, actuation, modeling and control field.
