‘Through the bloodstream with micro-robots’

When we take medication, less than 1% of the active ingredient reaches the actual site of the disease, which is why it affects the entire body – we are all familiar with the enormous side effects of chemotherapy, for example. That is why it is very important to deliver drugs directly to the site of action, where they then only have a local effect. To this end, I am developing tiny micro-robots loaded with drugs that can be guided through blood vessels to a tumour, inflammation or vascular constriction, for example. The micro-robots are precisely controlled by magnetic fields. But what exactly are magnetic micro- and nanorobots? What do they look like? How are they manufactured? How are they controlled? And what can they be used for?
