The research team at DGIST developed ciliary microrobots with high propulsion efficiency in highly-viscous fluid environments in the human body such as blood by mimicking the movement of paramecia’s ...

Cilia are microtubule-based hair-like organelles that extend from the surface of almost all cell types of the human body. They have been adapted as versatile tools for various tissue-specific (motile ...

Such digital signatures could help doctors more quickly and accurately diagnose ciliary motion (CM) defects, which can cause severe respiratory airway clearance defects and also developmental defects ...

Scientists have developed microrobots with high propulsion efficiency in highly-viscous fluid environments, applying propulsion techniques that mimic the ciliary stroke motion of paramecia. A Korean ...

(Nanowerk News) A research team at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST), South Korea, developed ciliary microrobots for chemical and cell delivery that can be precisely ...
