Robots killing cancer

Now this is the biggest hit of the century – robots killing cancer!

Scientists have created tiny mechanical nanoworms that could zip through the human body like cruise missiles. It has the ability to find and detect cancerous tumors before it even begins to spread. The friendly robots are said to be 3 million times smaller than an earthworm and are designed to release a drug that may kill the tumor without harming adjacent tissues. After delivery of the drugs to disease organs they self destruct and exit the body.

The problem is our own body’s defense mechanism. How can they stay long enough to find the tumors and complete their repair task without being attacked by the body’s defense mechanism itself?

Was pentagon able to solve the issue on base penetration without radar detection?

Here’s what researchers found. Nanoworms coated with slime, a polymer coating with tumor targeting molecule, could escape defense mechanism of laboratory mice for up to 24 hours. This period proved to be sufficient in finding potential tumors. Nanoworms link with potential tumors and make it easier to find the diseased organs during body scans.

Well warfare intelligence and design is not made only for the physical world I guess. It is also happening within the human body to race for a cure too – nondetection by the body sensors autodefense mechanism. Great pentagon intelligence lol!
