Robot manages blood, treats clots, detects cancer
Chinese scientists have developed a small, flexible robot called "CiliaVine" that can locally control blood flow. This enables highly precise delivery of medications to the walls of blood vessels, accelerates the treatment of blood clots, and allows for the detection of cancerous cells. The robot attaches to a medical guiding wire and uses magnetic fields to move its tiny cilia, allowing it to be directed toward the vessel walls or away from them, as well as generate small whirlpools to mix fluids. Clinical tests have shown that it helped speed up clot dissolution, with clots breaking down in about 40 minutes when used with the drug tPA, compared to 70 minutes without the robot. It also proved capable of detecting cancer cells in blood samples from liver cancer patients. This new technique signals a promising future for more precise drug delivery, faster clot treatment, and improved cancer monitoring.
