Cool new cutting-edge biomedical research:
Microrobots made of green algae carrying nanoparticles coated with red blood cell membranes can move through the lungs to carry chemo drugs directly to tumors, potentially improving lung #cancer treatment
Study in mice found that more of the drugs accumulated in the tumor this way than with directly delivering the drugs or using nanoparticles that couldn't swim
