Abstract

"The traditional way of delivering drugs has a very low efficiency. For instance, with solid tumors, drug delivery efficiency is reported to be lower than 1% [1], which means that 99% of the drug is elsewhere in the body causing side effects instead of actually fighting the cancer. This is where micro- and nanorobots can come into play, because they can swim or otherwise move to the target location in a controllable way. This is the hope."-Tian Qiu, Ph.D., biomedical robotics developer.

使用微型和纳米机器人增强治疗递送。

“传统的给药方式效率很低。例如，据报道，对于实体瘤，给药效率低于1%[1]这意味着99%的药物是在身体的其他地方引起副作用，而不是真正对抗癌症。这就是微型和纳米机器人可以发挥作用的地方，因为它们可以以可控的方式游泳或移动到目标位置。这就是希望。”——田秋，博士，生物医学机器人开发人员。
