Just as a business needs an effective and reliable service to deliver its goods to customers, medications need an effective delivery system to get them to the specific area of the body where they can ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed microrobots that use magnets to navigate to blood clots and deploy drugs to dissolve ...

A magnetically guided microrobotics system is capable of navigating the body's intricate passageways and vasculature to deliver drugs with pinpoint accuracy, according to a new study.

Microrobots could be precisely directed, under clinical conditions, by integrating systems for navigation, therapeutic ...

(Nanowerk News) The effectiveness of microrobots in aiding drug delivery into cells is currently limited, which impacts their therapeutic value. To overcome this, researchers have integrated the ...

A new microrobot system uses magnetic steering and drug-filled capsules to deliver stroke medicine directly to a clot.

Although various groups are already working on nanoparticles that could be used for directed drug delivery via the bloodstream, most of those particles are designed to "go with the flow." Now, however ...

What if doctors could guide life-saving treatments through the body using nothing but a magnet? An interdisciplinary team at the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering is working to ...

DDS can be based on physical mechanisms like osmosis, diffusion, erosion, dissolution, and electro-transport or biochemical methods like monoclonal antibodies, gene therapy, vector systems, ...

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 ...
