An innovative concept for the fabrication of dual-action microrobots capable of performing single-cell microsurgery along with a site-directed drug-delivery feature is presented. These multi-action plant-derived biocompatible "medibots" can play a pivotal role in understanding micromotor interactions at the cellular level, aiming toward the destruction of harmful cells (like cancer) among others in living systems.
Keywords: biogenic micromotors; cancer treatments; drug delivery; microdrilling; non-invasive microsurgery.
