Magnetic tri-bead microrobot assisted near-infrared triggered combined photothermal and chemotherapy of cancer cells
Abstract Magnetic micro/nanorobots attracted much attention in biomedical fields because of their precise movement, manipulation, and targeting abilities. However, there is a lack of research on intelligent micro/nanorobots with stimuli-responsive drug delivery mechanisms for cancer therapy. To addr...
