Abstract

Abstract : In article number 1901697 by Hongsoo Choi and co‐workers, a drug‐loaded micro‐robot can be attached to a target micro‐tissue by swimming in a corkscrew motion with magnetic torque under a rotating magnetic field. The needle‐type micro‐robot has the potential to improve targeted drug delivery to a micro‐tissue in vitro in physiological fluid environments.
