Scientists Drive Tiny Robot Inside Active Colon For The First Time

October 22, 2020

The microrobot has already been tested in mice, and it has revealed new ways in which people may receive drug ‘payloads’. By using magnetic machines the width of a couple of hairs, professors hope that drugs can be delivered in the exact area intended and avoid nasty side effects such as hair loss and stomach bleeding. The early tests of these devices have left an optimistic outlook, and further studies are set to continue.
