Micro‐robots: Development of a Sperm‐Flagella Driven Micro‐Bio‐Robot (Adv. Mater. 45/2013)
Source abstract
Abstract
A fascinating approach to the development of a hybrid micro-bio-robot is presented by Samuel Sanchez, Oliver G. Schmidt and Veronika Magdanz on page 6581. Rolled-up microtubes are used to capture single sperm cells and remotely control them to a desired location. These microbio-robots are useful for the controlled guidance of sperm cells, which is a promising feature towards the development of new assisted-fertilization techniques.
