Have you heard of “head transplant surgery”? I saw this news a while ago, but when I searched online, the world’s first head transplant surgery was actually performed back in 2016… Modern medicine always gives us the illusion – Afraid of the pain of injections? Doctors can use needle-free injectors to give you shots; Need … Read more
In a new study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Germany combined robotics with biology, equipping Escherichia coli with artificial components to construct biohybrid microrobots. First, they attached several nanoliposomes to each E. coli, which encapsulated indocyanine green (ICG) that melts when exposed to near-infrared light. Moving inward, these nanoliposomes contain … Read more
[Image]Traditional microneedle (MN) technology has unique advantages in treating wound infections, but its single-function design cannot achieve real-time monitoring of wound conditions, often leading to uncontrolled drug release. Here, we developed an anti-infection smart microneedle patch (SP-CSMN) that integrates three functional modules: temperature monitoring, Bluetooth wireless communication, and responsive drug release. This patch uses chitosan … Read more
