Targeted medicine using nanorobots
Nanorobots are essentially injectable machines the size of a red blood cell than can be controlled from outside the body.
These
minute devices can be controlled so that they can be steered to the
area of interest — a diseased part of the body. These devices can
recognize a tumor, an aneurysm or any other malady, and inject medicine
to kill the diseased cell.
“This is targeted medicine at its best,” said Dr. Michael Smith, staff doctor, clinician and community liaison withLife Extension.
Smith
added that these devices fitted with a camera can be driven to the area
requiring medication, or can be programed based on the person’s body
shape to self propel to the diseased area.
He imagines that nanorobots would become most ubiquitous in the treatment of cancer.
