Miniature Soft Robot With Magnetically Reprogrammable Surgical Functions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Miniature soft robots have great prospects to revolutionize minimally invasive treatments. Here we present a miniature soft robot, which can be reprogrammed to perform five surgical functionalities with six‐degrees‐of‐freedom motions. This soft robot can prospectively make minimally invasive surgery considerably safer and painless, and enable ...

Polyethylene microplastics transported to nucleus pulposus cells via macrophages-derived exosomes, and promote intervertebral disc degeneration through NAT10/SLC7A11 and ac4C modification

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) serves as the fundamental pathological basis for low back pain. Microplastics influence the organisms through exosomes-mediated communication.
