The Koreans did nanorobot to fight cancer Bashny.Net

South Korean scientists develop a cure for cancer, which is more efficient and will be less harm to the body than himioterapiya.Komanda Chonnam National University has developed a nanorobot that can recognize cancer cells and cure the cells through which bypasses harmful side effects of existing drugs.



Scientists have genetically modified the bacterium salmonella, which stretches to tumors using substances secreted by cancer cells. The bacteria are microscopic robots, where a 3 micrometer size Cator automatically release capsules filled with drugs, once the bacterium reaches the tumor.

"This is the first in the world for active nanorobot applications in medicine," - said the South Korean minestertsvo science, technology and creative planning for the future, which sponsored the study.

Modern chemotherapy uses chemicals that attack rapidly dividing cancer cells (this is the main feature of cancer cells). This means that cells that divide rapidly in nature, such as hair or bone cells also exposed to the chemicals, which is the cause of the side effects of chemotherapy.

Bacteriobot, so-called creation of a South Korean scientists, delivers the drug directly to the tumor cells, thereby leaving healthy cells untouched.

Bacteriobot can only detect tumor-forming cancers such as breast cancer or colorectal cancer, but the team says that in the future he will be able to detect all types of cancer.

The nanobots have been successfully tested in mice, and the team is confident that they perfectly cope with human diseases. Bacteriobot patented in the United States, Japan and Europe.
