Kidney Stone Dissolution By Tetherless, Enzyme‐Loaded, Soft Magnetic Miniature Robots
Wireless magnetic robots are developed for kidney stone dissolution. The robots navigate through a urinary tract model from bladder and ureter to renal pelvis with the help of external magnetic fields. The filaments are loaded with urease enzyme which catalyzes urea to carbon dioxide and ammonia, thereby increasing pH to basic regime and supporting ...

Most in vitro cancer models lack cellular diversity, functional complexity, and clinical relevance. This work highlights the generation of an innovative dynamic tetraculture with autologous patient‐derived cells within a vascularized tumor‐on‐chip, as well as the recapitulation of endothelial anergy features induced by the tumor microenvironment ...
