NANO-POWERED NANOROBOTS OFFER PROMISES IN GENE THERAPY AND NANOMEDICINE

Cancer-fighting, blood-roaming Nanorobots have the potential to transform our lives, but they
have yet to demonstrate their use in real-world settings. This review describes the requirements
for a nanomotor to survive the in vivo environment, locate its targets, operate as needed, and
terminate when the mission is complete. A nanorobot should be the proper size, constructed of
biocompatible or biodegradable materials, and capable of rapid, autonomous propulsion
through a network of blood arteries with a flow rate of about cm s1. A major transformation of
the existing system is now required, since progress is reported across multiple laboratories and
in different areas. Other options exist, such as hybrid nanomotors that combine chemotaxis
with biological propulsion.
