Robots That Can Travel Through Blood

Researchers have developed tiny Nanoparticle robots using nanotechnology (the science of really small objects). The tiny polymer robots covered with a protein called Transferrin can travel through a patient’s blood and into tumors to deliver a therapy that turns off an important cancer gene.

Other teams of researchers are using fats or lipids to deliver the therapy to the treatment target.

This is really amazing! surprised
