Microscopic robots could soon float inside your liver to fight cancer. Canadian researchers are closing in on a novel approach to treat liver tumours using microrobots in a MRI device.
Canadian researchers are closing in on a novel approach to treat liver tumours using microrobots in a MRI device.
Guided by an external magnetic field, a series of miniature biocompatible robots, made of magnetisable iron oxide nanoparticles, can theoretically provide medical treatment in an extremely targeted manner. By varying the direction of the magnetic field, we can accurately guide them to sites to be treated and thus preserve the healthy cells.” “Using an anatomical atlas of human livers, we were able to simulate the piloting of microrobots on 19 patients treated with transarterial chemoembolization,” said Soulez.
