Accurately delivering therapeutic cells to the desired site in vivo is an emerging and promising cell therapy. However, targeting therapeutic cells to the affected area in the body can be challenging, especially when using a large number of cells, as excessive cytokine production can lead to an overactive immune response. Utilizing microrobots allows for controllable … Read more

Research Background The magnetic-controlled helical microrobot has broad application prospects in biomedical fields such as targeted therapy and minimally invasive surgery due to its capabilities of remote manipulation and drug transportation. However, the current micro-helical robots have low magnetic content and weak driving force, making it difficult to overcome the impact of environmental flow rates, … Read more
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
Abstract Mobile microrobots can navigate, sense the environment, and interact with it, potentially revolutionizing biomedicine and environmental remediation. Many self-organizing microrobotic collectives have been developed to overcome the inherent limitations of actuation, sensing, and manipulation of individual microrobots; however, reconfigurable collectives with robust transitions between behaviors are rare. Such multifunctional systems are advantageous for operation … Read more

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
———- For More Information, Please Follow Us ———- Microrobots have advantages such as small size, light weight, high thrust-to-weight ratio, and high flexibility. They can be classified into two categories based on size: The first category includes robots in the nano to micro size range, generally driven by external forces, mainly used in biomedical fields. … Read more
In recent years, researchers have developed several flying robots inspired by the wing motion mechanisms of flying animals (such as birds and bats).Researchers have always believed that insects (including beetles) actively extend and retract their wings through chest muscles, just like birds and bats.However, due to technological limitations, researchers have been unable to determine which … Read more
