Stanford researchers develop milli-spinner thrombectomy technology that shrinks blood clots without breaking them, showing higher success rates for stroke treatment.

New milli-spinner technology from Stanford offers breakthrough in blood clot treatment by compressing clots to 5% of original size, revolutionizing stroke care.

Stanford researchers have developed a new mechanical thrombectomy device that could improve how doctors treat stroke and other clot-related diseases.

Researchers at Stanford have developed a new blood clot removal technology that is more than twice as effective as current ...

Renee Zhao, the senior author of the Nature paper who teaches mechanical engineering at Stanford and creates what she calls "millirobots," said that conventional thrombectomies just aren't cutting it.

Leading research in this field, Stanford University mechanical engineer Renee Zhao is working on many millirobot designs at once – including a magnetic crawling robot, which was recently seen ...
