Nanobots vs Cancer | Science That May Redefine Targeted Therapy
1. Precision medicine in action: Magnetic nanobots mimic bacterial flagella to navigate blood and dense tumour tissue with high accuracy
2. Targeted, not toxic: Drugs and heat are delivered only to cancer cells, significantly reducing damage to healthy tissue
3. Deep-tumour access: Effective even in hard-to-reach, dense cancers like breast and ovarian tumours
4. Beyond cancer: Promising applications in dentistry, antimicrobial therapy, and regenerative medicine
UPSC relevance: High-value topic for GS III (Science & Tech) linking innovation, healthcare, and indigenous research
