ABSTRACT

Microrobot may be controlled wirelessly in a patient for minimizing the invasiveness of diagnosis and treatment.Microrobot plus stem cell transplantation (SCT) is ideal for offering targeted precision therapy.SCT has great potentials for many common diseases.However, clinical application of SCT still has several perplexing problems such as pulmonary embolism and infarction due to cell embolism, infection and poor targeting.This review summarized the latest researches and applications of microrobots plus SCT from the perspectives of origins, design types, driving modes, materials and imaging systems.It also provided an outlook on their future development trends.
