Shape-Morphing Microrobots Deliver Drugs to Cancer Cells

Delivering drugs directly to cancer cells could help reduce the unpleasant side effects of chemotherapy. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Nano have made shape-morphing microrobots that can be guided with magnets to cancer cells. ACS’ Headline Science reveals how these devices travel and release their chemotherapy cargo. “Environmentally Adaptive Shape-Morphing Microrobots for Localized Cancer Cell Treatment” - Jiawen Li, Ph.D., Li Zhang, Ph.D., and Dong Wu, Ph.D. (corresponding authors) You might also like: Headline Science: Ingenious: ACS Spring 2021 Press Conferences - Archived: Chemical & Engineering News Produced by
