Hydrogel microrobots have blazed new avenues for local drug administration, while their
values in inner ear drug delivery remain to be explored. Here, novel magnetic alpha‐lipoic …

Local drug delivery has become an effective method for disease therapy in fine organs
including ears, eyes, and noses. However, the multiple anatomical and physiological …

The least damaging and most economical method to deliver drugs or carriers into the inner
ear for treatment of disease is through the middle ear. However, the retention of drug in the …

Due to the physics of magnetic fields and forces, any single magnet will always attract or pull-
in magnetically-responsive particles. However, there are a variety of clinical needs where it …

Drug therapy using cancer-targeted drug delivery particles is widely adopted as a general
anti-cancer therapy. In this approach, anticancer drug particles target mainly cancer cells …

The highly compartmentalized anatomy of the ear aggravates drug delivery, which is used to
combat hearing-related diseases. Novel nanosized drug vehicles are thought to overcome …

Currently, microrobots are receiving attention because of their small size and motility, which
can be applied to minimal invasive therapy. Additionally, various microrobots using hydrogel …

By virtue of minimum invasiveness and driving ability using a magnetic field, drug delivery
with the aid of a microrobot has an inherent potential for targeted treatment for the eye. The …

Biological barriers are the first line of defense against pathogen invasions, but they can also
present as critical obstacles to drug delivery. Despite a variety of strategies have been …

Therapeutic drug delivery microrobots capable of accurate targeting using an
electromagnetic actuation (EMA) system are being developed. However, these drug delivery …
