Rod‐Like PLGA Microrobots with Enhanced Motion and Biodegradation for Magnetic‐Guided Drug Delivery
This study presents drug‐loaded Poly (lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) microrobots fabricated from an oil‐in‐water (O/W) emulsion of PLGA, Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and Adriamycin (DOX). They are formed by film‐forming and stretching microrobots, and exhibit motion analyzed via video‐snapshots, speed graphs, and shape changes, advancing targeted for drug ...
