Some developing countries initially benefit from low-cost advantages, but struggle to catch up with other nations once they reach a certain stageThe current debate in China centres around the question of whether it needs to close a significant gap with the West in terms of development
China’s low-altitude economy was listed as one of the strategic emerging industries to cultivate during the recently concluded central economic work conference.
The limited ability of microrobots to assist drugs in entering cells hinders their therapeutic efficacy. To address this, the cancer-targeting molecule folic acid (FA) was introduced to microrobots to promote drug uptake by cancer cells via receptor-ligand-mediated endocytosis. This results in a drug delivery system that can locate lesion areas with magnetic fields and deliver loaded drugs into the cytoplasm through endocytosis.
The team published their findings in the Journal of Cyborg and Bionic Systems on May 5.
A bionic quadruped soft thin-film microrobot operated by magnetic fields with a mass of only 41 mg was recently proposed by a research team from Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It promises to be used for stomach examination and treatment.
