BIOTECHNOLOGY// The use of nano-robots in the treatment of diseases
Author: @madridbg, through Power Point 2010, using public domain images.
Welcome again readers who are passionate about scientific and technological content, which are brought to life daily in the community of @project.hope. In this issue, we will be addressing the relationship between science and technology which has given rise to devices and equipment that have undoubtedly changed the existence and quality of life of man.
In this respect, nanotechnology arises from the manipulation and modification of matter at extremely small scales and imperceptible to the human eye, that is, through these technological processes, we can manipulate and modify the atoms and molecules of substances with interest and daily applications. That is why it can be implemented in different aspects of our daily life, ranging from chemical, industrial, pharmaceutical and medical advances, among others.

Therefore, through this publication we will address some nanotechnological modifications that have been designed by man and that are applied in the treatment of diseases. In this regard, the nanorobots whose main function is to enter our body, analyze our cells and carry out in-depth studies of the adverse effects on our system.

The published advances in the use of these techniques are promising and are projected as a banner in the fight against diseases such as cancer. This topic has become a fundamental axis in the fight against the disease. Therefore, every day we develop nano particles that meet the objective of eliminating cancer cells without affecting healthy cells.
According to the studies carried out by members of the Arizona State University (ASU) and the Chinese National Center for Nanoscience and Technology:
"The strategy to eradicate the affected cells is aimed at blocking their nutritional contribution, that is to say, blocking the pathways through which blood is injected into the tumor, an action that can be carried out through a coagulation process in specific locations with the help of the enzyme thrombin".

In addition, thanks to the dynamics and versatility of the technique, it can be used in the cosmetic industry to restore cells that have died from cellular aging. Similarly, devices based on nanotechnology have been developed that allow the evaluation of the immune system in search of bacteria or viruses that threaten our health.
The technology based on nano particles, is incredible and impossible for much, however, every day new advances are obtained that allow to approach concrete objectives in favor of the care and preservation of our health.
Dear reader, if you have reached this point of the publication, we could observe the benefits of science and more if it is complemented with technological principles, so I invite you to leave your comment on these advances that are incredible from my perception.

Grateful with the community @project.hope and with all the management team of the same one that they motivate us to continue working in a mutual and balanced growth.
Hello @madridbg
Interesting publication, particularly these topics I like, because I studied in the area of health, and I know that there are many things happening worldwide, which challenge even some natural bases, but what is sought is improvement in the human being
Thank you @josevas217 for taking the time to comment on my publication. Without a doubt the advances we have made as a society and in good times are impressive as long as it is to improve the quality of life of human beings. Greetings we do not continue reading.
So much technology has help us to realize in this world and even beyond our imagination
That's right @mandato technology seen from the scientific, has allowed us to open unimaginable horizons an example of this in the understanding and behavior of sub-atomic systems, where our perception falls short to reach these spaces. Thank you for commenting.
Interesting how advances in nanotechnology are positively impacting the prevention and treatment of diseases as serious as cancer, hopefully these technologies can save the lives of others
Greetings @emiliomoron we who move in the area of science with affinities to chemistry should be disclosing this type of information. It is pleasing to know that as we move forward as a society we are generating contributions for a better quality of life and this technology from my perspective has come to that, has shook the damage that diseases like cancer has caused. Thank you for commenting
