Microrobots Carry Stem Cells Through A Mouse

Engineers have built microrobots to perform all sorts of tasks in the body, and can now add to that list another key skill: delivering stem cells. In a paper published today in Science Robotics, researchers describe propelling a magnetically-controlled, stem-cell-carrying bot through a live mouse. Under a rotating magnetic field, the microrobots moved
