"Advancements in Magnetic Microrobots for Brain Aneurysm Treatment"
TL;DR Summary
A Chinese research team has developed a tiny, magnetically controlled soft robot designed to perform embolisation in blood vessel branches, offering a potential solution for treating brain aneurysms and tumours. The robot, about half a millimeter in size, can be steered using magnetic fields and is capable of blocking blood supply to aneurysms and tumours, as well as delivering particles to starve tumours. Initial tests on a model vessel system and rabbit legs showed promising results, although further testing and development are needed.
