Drug Delivery: Cooperative Multifunctional Self‐Propelled Paramagnetic Microrobots with Chemical Handles for Cell Manipulation and Drug Delivery (Adv. Funct. Mater. 43/2018)

Abstract

In article number 1804343 Martin Pumera and co-workers demonstrate superparamagnetic catalytic Janus microrobots that can move by combining two propulsion mechanisms, making them suitable for diverse biomedical applications. Under the influence of a magnetic field, the individual robots can team up and form chains of micromachines that are able to perform collective actions in complex environments. Thus, having potential for improving the cell manipulation and drug delivery approaches.
