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

open access: yesAdvanced 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

Reduced Maintenance DNA Methylation Thresholds Enable Sensitive Reporter Assays for UHRF1 and DNMT1 Inhibition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The authors engineer colorectal cancer cells with reduced redundancy of UHRF1 and DNMT1, key DNA methylation maintenance factors, lowering the maintenance threshold and sensitizing cells to inhibition. They develop reporter assays driven by endogenous tumor‐suppressor gene promoters with enhanced sensitivity and dynamic range to demethylating drugs ...

Stabilizing Atomically Dispersed Au With Adjacent Pt for Spatially Precise Molecule Recognition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A strategy to stabilize atomically dispersed Au catalysts by introducing Pt atoms into CeO2 supports is presented. Pt incorporation prevents Au aggregation, enhances Au‐O orbital coupling, and enables precise recognition of multi‐functionalized molecules, improving catalytic performance and the structural stability of Au‐based catalysts in ...
