Micro-robots made from algae could aid treatment

In tests, a swarm of robots measuring a few millionths of a metre long – about the size of a blood cell – were guided magnetically to sites in the stomach of rats. The robots were manufactured by coating tiny algae with magnetic particles. They could be tracked in tissue close to the skin’s surface by imaging the algae’s natural fluorescence, and in hard-to-reach deeper tissue by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Scientists have devised a technique for visualising tissues that could aid diagnosis and treatment of diseases including cancer. The new approach is more sensitive than existing tools and could help researchers detect illnesses at a much earlier stage. Doctors may also be able to check how well a patient is responding to a treatment by monitoring changes occurring in cells.
