University of Edinburgh researchers create magnetic nanobots to treat brain aneurysms with targeted drug release.

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have created magnetic nanobots that can be injected into the body to treat brain aneurysms. These tiny robots, guided by magnets, release clotting drugs at targeted sites when heated. The technology, which shows promise in reducing the need for implants, could revolutionize medical treatments for aneurysms and other conditions by allowing precise drug delivery and surgical repairs. Future human trials are anticipated.
