Nanorobotics in Medicine

Nanorobotics opens up unimagined possibilities for medicine. Developed at a microscopic level, these high-precision technologies promise to intervene deeply in human biology - in a targeted, safe and efficient manner. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current applications and technologies of nanorobotics, from cancer therapy to slowing down the ageing process. In the field of oncology in particular, nanorobotics opens up ground-breaking perspectives: Tiny robots that specifically attack tumour cells, deliver drugs directly to the affected areas and thus minimise side effects. There is also growing hope in the field of ageing research that nanotechnological interventions can delay the deterioration of cells and treat age-related diseases preventively. This book introduces the reader to the current state of research, highlights the most exciting perspectives and discusses the ethical and practical challenges associated with the development and implementation of these technologies. A fascinating look at a future in which nanorobotics is redefining the boundaries of medicine.
