Simple microbubble robots use enzymes to navigate tumors and deliver drugs
SMRTR summary
Researchers at Caltech and USC developed simple microbubble robots that use enzymes to automatically navigate toward tumors and deliver cancer drugs with precision. These protein-shelled bubbles move by converting body waste into propulsion, can autonomously detect tumors through chemical signals, and release their drug payload when burst by ultrasound, achieving 60% tumor reduction in mouse studies.
