Nanorobots with Hidden Weapons Successfully Tested in Mice, Published in NatureNano
Jul 2, 2024, 10:30 AM
Recent advancements in nanotechnology have led to the development of nanorobots capable of targeting and killing cancer cells. Scientists at Karolinska Institute have designed nanorobots using DNA origami that contain a hidden kill switch, which is activated in the tumor environment. These nanorobots have been successfully tested in mice, showing promising results in combating cancer. The study was published in NatureNano. Additionally, swimming microrobots made from algae have been developed to deliver cancer-fighting drugs directly to metastatic tumors in the lungs. This breakthrough could mark a new phase in medical science, offering innovative solutions for cancer treatment.
