Machine-intelligent multimodal algebot for intracavitary chemotherapy (opens in new tab)

Intracavitary drug instillation is a crucial therapeutic strategy for treating bladder cancer. However, current methods are limited in efficacy due to insufficient tumour targeting and drug penetration across tissue barriers in pathophysiological conditions. Here we devise biohybrid magnetic algae microrobots with hierarchical nanoporous structure and develop an ‘algebot’-mediated, non-contact convective transport strategy to synergistically integrate targeted carrier transport, selective dru...
