The paper "Application of micro/nanorobot in medicine" by Sun et al. reviews the advancements and challenges in the use of micro/nanorobots in medical treatments. Micro/nanorobots, due to their small size and ability to penetrate deep tissues, offer significant potential in disease diagnosis and treatment. The review covers four key areas: biosensors, diagnostics, targeted drug delivery, and surgery. In biosensing, micro/nanorobots enhance the sensitivity and speed of traditional biosensors, enabling real-time measurements of blood glucose and lipid levels. In diagnostics, these robots can navigate deep tissues and enhance imaging signals, improving the accuracy of medical examinations. For targeted drug delivery, micro/nanorobots can precisely deliver drugs to deep tissues, reducing side effects and improving treatment efficiency. In surgery, these robots can perform minimally invasive procedures, reducing trauma and recovery time. Despite these advancements, challenges such as biosafety, control of robot movement, and cost reduction remain significant hurdles. The authors conclude that while the field is still in its early stages, the potential of micro/nanorobots to revolutionize medical treatments is promising.The paper "Application of micro/nanorobot in medicine" by Sun et al. reviews the advancements and challenges in the use of micro/nanorobots in medical treatments.
