A team of researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a new type of microrobot capable of delivering drugs directly to tumors in the body. The microrobots, known as “magnetic microrobots,” are capable of delivering drugs using magnetic forces, allowing for precise and targeted drug delivery. The team tested their microrobots by delivering the cancer drug folic acid directly to tumors in mice. The results of their studies showed that the microrobots were able to efficiently deliver the drug to the tumor, leading to a significant reduction in tumor growth. This could have significant implications for cancer treatments in the future.
