Clinically ready magnetic microrobots for targeted therapies

17.11.2025

It might sound like something straight out of science fiction, but it could soon become part of everyday hospital care: tiny microrobots filled with active agents are injected into the bloodstream, guiding medications with incredible accuracy. A collaborative international research team - including scientists from Prof. Tessa Lühmann’s group at the Institute of Pharmacy and Food Chemistry, University of Wuerzburg - has just made a significant breakthrough in this exciting field.

The study is published in Science and available at: https://www.science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126/science.adx1708 .
