Bio-inspired Micro Robots: Ensuring Targeted Drug Delivery
A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems has recently invented a micro robot that resembles a white blood cell. The finding is promising as it can revolutionise targeted drug delivery in future.
The Micro Robots
- In designing the micro robots, the scientists took inspiration from the leucocytes (white blood cells) which roll along the blood vessels in their search for invading pathogens.
- The shape, size and moving capabilities of these micro robots (also called micro rollers) are similar to the leucocytes. Each micro-roller has a diameter of about 8 micrometers and is made of glass microparticles.
- It ....
