Active therapy based on the byproducts of micro/nanomotors

Abstract

Different from traditional colloidal particles based on Brownian motion, micro/nanomotors are micro/nanoscale devices capable of performing complex tasks in liquid media via transforming various energy sources into mechanical motion or...

Chemotactic NO/H2S Nanomotors Realizing Cardiac Targeting of G-CSF against Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

“…The motion behavior of the nanomotors is very favorable for its efficient uptake by cells, − and we next evaluated these properties. First, the capability of the NO/H 2 S SOD/PAC@CSF nanomotors to penetrate human venous endothelial cells (HUVECs) was assessed.…”

Self-propelled bioglass janus nanomotors for dentin hypersensitivity treatment

“…[15][16][17][18][19][20] The unique physical properties and different driving strategies of nanomotors allow them to perform multiple tasks, such as anti-bacteria, environmental interactions, opening cell membranes, or delivering drugs in vivo precisely. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Compared with other types of nanomotors, chemically driven nanomotors have lower weight, a higher thrust-to-weight ratio, and lower energy consumption and are thus widely used in a wide range of applications. 28 Pt is often used as the power unit of chemical-driven nanomotors owing to its stable chemical properties and high catalytic efficiency.…”

FOF1-ATPase Motor-Embedded Chromatophore as Drug Delivery System: Extraction, Cargo Loading Ability and Mucus Penetration Ability

“…Micro/nanomotors (MNMs) [ 15 , 16 ] have the ability to convert energy into propulsion and movement [ 17 ], enabling them to be self-propelled vehicles [ 18 ]. Thanks to their active mobility and also the miniaturized body size, MNMs have displayed tremendous potential for biomedical applications including biosensing [ 19 ], diagnosis, minimally invasive surgery and targeted cargo delivery [ 20 ]. However, there are still many ongoing challenges and critical issues that need to be addressed.…”
