Hard to believe this, but researchers are learning how to potentially target tumors with tiny, robotic ‘nanoworms’ that could administer a lethal dose of an anti-cancer drug without impacting other parts of the body.
Scientists at UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and MIT have developed these ‘nanoworms’ that cruise through the bloodstream and could act like tiny anti-cancer missiles.
How cool is that?
