Microrobots made of algae carry chemo directly to lung tumors, improving cancer treatment (theconversation.com)

Cool new cutting-edge biomedical research:

Microrobots made of green algae carrying nanoparticles coated with red blood cell membranes can move through the lungs to carry chemo drugs directly to tumors, potentially improving lung cancer treatment

Study in mice found that more of the drugs accumulated in the tumor this way than with directly delivering the drugs or using nanoparticles that couldn't swim.
