Recent advancements in in vivo trials have demonstrated significant tumor reduction in mice with bladder cancer, showing the potential of nanorobots to not only treat but also improve diagnostic capabilities in cancer therapy. This review aims to highlight the precision of nanorobots, the current knowledge on their use and their potential in clinical applications. The use of nanorobots could lead to better patient outcomes by providing targeted treatment and reducing side effects. Key components of modern nanorobot technology, including self-driving capabilities, biocompatibility, and biosafety, are analyzed. Chemically-driven micro/nanorobots (MNRs) are primarily categorized by the biocompatibility of the materials used and the cytotoxicity of their waste products. Common materials are considered, focusing on size, shape, surface charge, and surface area. While both hydrogen peroxide and urease-driven nanorobots are considered potential fuels for MNRs, urease is regarded as a more biocompatible solution, making it a promising option for cancer treatment. This report emphasizes the potential of nanorobots to revolutionize the treatment of bladder cancer by improving both therapeutic precision and patient quality of life.</p> Zehra Hussain, Alyssa Di Fonzo, Hermela Merhawi, Mary Gallant, Robert Girlan, Muhammad Hasibul Hasan Copyright (c) 2025 Zehra Hussain, Alyssa Di Fonzo, Hermela Merhawi, Mary Gallant, Robert Girlan, Muhammad Hasibul Hasan https://deerhillpublishing.com/index.php/ijemm/article/view/280 Sun, 26 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://deerhillpublishing.com/index.php/ijemm/article/view/288 <p>The development of solar-powered egg incubators holds promise for sustainable agriculture and poultry farming, particularly in areas with limited access to reliable electricity. Hence, in this work, locally sourced materials were used for the development of solar-powered incubator, with the aim of providing a sustainable and reliable alternative to traditional electricity-powered incubators. The design of the incubator was carried out using the different equations stipulated in literatures. Also, the performance of the incubator was investigated by determining the system temperature, relative humidity, percentage fertility and hatchability. The experimental results indicated that the total heat generated inside the incubator was 149,753.49 J, with contributions from air, eggs, water, and plywood. Also, there was consistent temperature and relative humidity readings throughout the incubation period with the temperature and relative humidity falling between 37.1-38.0°C and 50.6-56% respectively. The study also showed that the incubation process was conducted with diligence, leading to favorable outcomes (67% fertility and 75% hatchability) for embryo development and hatching success.</p> Joseph Abutu, Mainigi Umar, James Wamayi Midala, Abdulkarim Muhammad Odeh, Garkuwa Haruna, Christian Ogwuche Ike, Sunday Albert Lawal Copyright (c) 2025 Joseph Abutu, Mainigi Umar, James Wamayi Midala, Abdulkarim Muhammad Odeh, Garkuwa Haruna, Christian Ogwuche Ike, Sunday Albert Lawal https://deerhillpublishing.com/index.php/ijemm/article/view/288 Sun, 26 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000
