Researchers develop nanobots killing cancer cells in mice by hiding lethal weapons inside DNA nanostructures.
In what can be termed a promising avenue in cancer treatment, researchers have developed nanobots that have showcased their abilities to kill cancer cell s in mice.
Death receptors are like switches on cell surfaces that, when turned on by specific signals like tumor necrosis factor , start a process leading to cell self-destruction, known as apoptosis. They help control cell survival and death in living things. According to researchers, it allows them to place DNA pieces exactly where we want them and attach proteins to create precise patterns and structures at the molecular level. They have since applied this technology to develop a “kill switch” that, when triggered, acts as intended.
