Micro-nanomotors (MNMs) are micro/nanoscale intelligent devices with vast potential in the fields of drug delivery, precision medicine, biosensing, and environmental remediation. Their primary advantage lies in their ability to convert various forms of external energy (such as magnetic, ultrasonic, and light energy) into their own propulsive force. Additionally, MNMs offer high controllability and modifiability, enabling them to navigate in the microscopic world. Importantly, recent research has harnessed the unique advantages of MNMs to synergize their capabilities in neuromodulation. This mini-review presents the significant progress and pioneering achievements in the use of MNMs for neuromodulation, with the aim of inspiring readers to explore the broader biomedical applications of these MNMs. Through continuous innovation and diligent exploration, MNMs show promise to have a profound impact on the field of biomedicine.
微纳马达(MNMs)是具有广泛应用前景的微/纳米级智能装置,在药物输送、精准医疗、生物传感和环境修复等领域具有重要作用。它们的主要优势在于能够将各种形式的外部能量(如磁、超声和光能)转化为自身的推进力。此外,MNMs 具有高度的可控性和可修饰性,使其能够在微观世界中导航。重要的是,最近的研究利用 MNMs 的独特优势,将其在神经调节方面的能力协同起来。这篇小型综述介绍了 MNMs 在神经调节方面的重要进展和开创性成果,旨在激发读者探索这些 MNMs 在更广泛的生物医学领域的应用。通过不断的创新和探索,MNMs 有望对生物医学领域产生深远的影响。
