Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adhm201570011-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The fabrication of implantable magnetic tubular microrobots for use in targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive surgery for ophthalmologic applications is reported by S. Pané and co‐workers on page 209. The microrobots can fit into a 23‐gauge needle, thus enabling sutureless injections into the eye, and they are maneuvered in biological environments. The microrobots are also coated with biocompatible films and can be successfully filled with drugs. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh3k6zr702" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
