3D Printing Technology: Empowering Precision Personalized Medicine

3D Printing Technology: Empowering Precision Personalized Medicine

In 1979, the concept of using 3D medical imaging, particularly reconstructing physical models from computed tomography data, was first proposed. Although there were no rapid prototyping or 3D printing systems at that time, the idea could be realized through subtractive manufacturing or milling. Before the advent of 3D printers, the primary method for creating prototype … Read more

Transforming Bacteria into Microrobots for Targeted Drug Delivery in Cancer Treatment

Transforming Bacteria into Microrobots for Targeted Drug Delivery in Cancer Treatment

Written by丨Wang Cong Edited by丨Wang Duoyu Typeset by丨Shui Chengwen Bacteria are attracted to chemical gradients, such as low oxygen levels or high acidity, both of which are commonly found near tumor tissues. Injecting bacteria near tumor tissues for cancer treatment is known as bacteria-mediated tumor therapy. The bacteria accumulate in the tumor tissue and grow, … Read more

Soft Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted Drug Delivery

Soft Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted Drug Delivery

Due to their adaptability to the surrounding environment, soft microrobots have developed various therapeutic applications in the medical field, including vascular clearance, cell transport, and drug delivery. However, most soft microrobots cannot quickly enter, retrieve, and maintain their original position once the external driving field is removed. To address this, Guannan He from China Medical … Read more

Dual Frequency-Regulated Magnetic Vortex Nanorobots for Thrombolysis

Dual Frequency-Regulated Magnetic Vortex Nanorobots for Thrombolysis

iNature Due to the non-invasive remote driving and drug loading capabilities of magnetic nanorobots, there are broad application prospects in thrombolytic therapy. Although nanorobots smaller than 100 nanometers are suitable for microvascular systems, their propulsion performance is severely affected due to limited response to magnetic fields. On October 18, 2024, Cheng Yu and He Bin … Read more
