Bio nanobots that kills cancer cells
One more feather on the cap of nanotechnology in curing cancer, with the help of a new method called trojan horse therapy. Australian Scientists Dr Jennifer MacDiarmid and Dr Himanshu Brahmbhatt, who formed EnGenelC Pty Ltd in 2001 discovered a very effective method which they call Trojan horse” therapy to combat cancer using bacterially derived nano cell that helps to penetrate and disarm the cancerous cells, after that a second nanocell is send to cancerous cells which kills it chemotherapy drugs.
The “trojan horse” therapy has the potential to directly target cancer cells with chemotherapy, rather than the current treatment that sees chemotherapy drugs injected into a cancer patient and attacking both cancer and healthy cells.
