Nanomedicine: Meet your new doctor: a nanorobot!

Nanomedicine. These tiny doctors are implanted directly into the patient's veins by medication. They are 1,000 times smaller than a hair but could be our doctors of the future. Back on a breakthrough in very futuristic medicine.

Currently being tested in laboratory rats, the first results of this study, carried out by three research centers jointly, are conclusive enough to envisage further studies and tests on human patients within a year or two. These nanobots can travel in the body to the arteries and repair the fragile plaques responsible for attacks and cardiovascular accidents.

The premises of nanomedicine

Advances in medicine in recent years have evolved in tandem with technological advances and in particular with the development of autonomous medical robots. It is exactly on this that three well-known centers in the medical research community work together: University of Colombia Medical Center, thereBrigham Women's Hospital and theHarvard School of Medicine. These three centers have been working for several years on nanobots capable of repairing damaged plaques inside the human body without danger or pain for the patient.

The nanorobots are injected directly into the veins and make their way to the arteries, these accumulate in the place which is weakened to promote healing. Nanobots are designed in a kind of biodegradable polymer, so once their medicine is delivered and the plaque is repaired, they degrade in the patient’s body until they disappear completely.

Alternative medicine that is not without risks

So if this nanomedicine will gradually develop, this is normal, since it will allow a basic medicine without the need to subject the patient to a long anesthesia and difficult to bear especially for fragile people … It also avoids scars and as a whole to open the body and therefore risk infections. Even though general anesthesia is now safer, there are still just over 1,000 people dying on the operating tables these days.

However, this advance presents for the moment some risks, which are important to settle before going further. Indeed, these nanorobots cause a weakened immune system, then the question arises: how to manage a preventive treatment of attacks and cardiovascular accidents which could prove potentially dangerous for the patients whereas said attacks and cardiovascular accidents could never declare themselves. The rest of the experiments will tell us … To be continued !
