Robotic Microgrippers to Conduct Critical Clinical Biopsies

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University developed the new microgrippers, which helps in obtaining clinical biopsies from difficult to reach spots. The star-shaped microdevices are made from a combination of soft hydrogels and a stiff biodegradable polymer, allowing them to fold in on themselves and grab onto cells. The technology may one day be used not only for performing challenging biopsies, but also for targeted drug delivery and even for interventional ...
