Revolutionary Microrobots Shrink Tumors in Groundbreaking Study

The article from SciTechDaily discusses a groundbreaking study where microrobots, developed by researchers at the University of California San Diego, have shown potential in shrinking tumors. These microrobots are composed of biodegradable polymer spheres filled with the drug doxorubicin and coated with green algae cells, which propel the spheres through the body. In experiments with mice, these microrobots were injected directly into the bloodstream, where they navigated to the lungs, effectively targeting and reducing the size of melanoma tumors by 90% over 48 hours. This approach not only delivered the chemotherapy drug more efficiently but also reduced the side effects typically associated with systemic chemotherapy, marking a significant advancement in targeted cancer therapy.
