flag UC San Diego engineers develop algae-based microrobots to deliver cancer medication directly to tumors in mice, improving survival rates.

flag Engineers at UC San Diego have developed microscopic, algae-based microrobots capable of swimming through the lungs to deliver cancer-fighting medication directly to metastatic tumors. flag The microrobots, a combination of biology and nanotechnology, showed promise in mice, inhibiting tumor growth and improving survival rates compared to control treatments. flag The findings were published in Science Advances.
