Reported byZME Science ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Engineers at Johns Hopkins University created two miniature robots, each roughly as wide as a pencil tip and as long as a grain of rice, that work together to deliver medication directly to heart tissue and treat infective endocarditis without invasive surgery.
Tested in laboratory experiments on artificial hearts and pig heart tissue. Not yet tested in humans.
