Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a

Retracted: MicroRNA‐520c enhances cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by suppressing IRF2 in gastric cancer

FEBS Open Bio, 2016
Dysregulation of microRNA (miRNA) is actively involved in the development and progression of gastric cancer (GC). MiR‐520c was previously found to be overexpressed in GC specimens and cells.
