27、Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, and his colleagues have developed tiny robots called microrollers that can carry cancer drugs and selectively target human breast cancer cells. The team drew inspiration for the design of the robots from white blood cells in the human body, wh
28、ich can move along the walls of blood vessels(血管?) against the direction of blood flow.The microrollers arc round and made from glass microparticles. One half of the robot was coated with a thin magnetic nanofilm(磁性纳米膜)made from nickel and gold. The other half was coated with the cancer drug doxorub
29、icin as well as molecules that recognize cancer cells.The team tested the robots using mouse blood and artificial channels lined with human endothelial cellsthe kind of cells that line the inner walls of our blood vessels. The robots were exposed to a mixture of cancerous and healthy tissue. The mic
30、rorollers selectively attached to the cancer cells and were activated using UV light to release the doxorubicin.By applying magnetic fields, the team was able to control the movement of the microrollers, both with and against the flow of blood. The microrollers can reach a speed of up to 600 microme
31、ters per second. If you come to n spot where you need to take the right path and if you miss it, then you could go back and go to the right one. says Setti.In future, the researchers want to use other methods to start the drug release, such as heat or near-infrared light. They also plan to try making microrollers out of materials that would break down in the body over a few weeks or months.The learn hopes to test the microrollers in animals soon. The rollers need to cany enough cancer drugs, which is why we need to have them in large numbers. says Setti. But since we can
