Nanobots In The Bloodstream

This growing field of technology has made tremendous progress up until today and it is predicted that in the next 25 years, nanorobots will be used for relevance in life sciences and medicine.

Promise and Peril by Ray Kurzweil is an essay about the future of technology and what benefits and risks it will present to the world. It focuses on the fields of genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and robotics, or GNR. Kurzweil wrote this essay as a response to an article Bill Joy wrote called Why The Future Doesn't Need Us. Joy also focuses his article on the topic of GNR technologies, but writes from a pessimistic point of view, as opposed to the optimistic stance taken by Kurzweil. Joy foresees future advances and paints a portrait of a world where technology is ultimately harmful to humans and could possibly challenge the survival of our race. He introduces the concept of relinquishment, where humankind as a whole chooses to dismiss

In recent years, the field of biomedical engineering has been growing and gaining significant importance all across the world. Scientists have been striving to find cures to some of the most potent diseases of this modern world and looking to find methods of assisting the many people struggling with various types of disabilities. A newly rising technology in biomedical engineering is the Human Body on a Chip, or Organ on a Chip. The Organ on a Chip is a multi-channel 3-D microfluidic cell culture chip that stimulates the activities, mechanics and physiological responses of entire organs and organ systems. At first glace these chips don’t look like anything more than very thin pieces of plastic, but when filled with cells from

In the future the world will have on his hands a machine that replaces the blood in the body all at once like the

Here's the scoop: As originally reported late last year in the medical journal Blood, Dr. Catherine M. Verfaillie and other researchers at the Stem Cell Institute, University of Minnesota, have discovered a way to coax an adult cell found in the bone marrow to exhibit many of the attributes that supposedly make embryonic stem cells irreplaceable to the development future "miracle" medical therapies(Catherine).

Stem Cells On average 20 people die each day waiting for a transplant. Which is a problem that our people deal with on a daily basis. This fact has a solution in which we can help and provide people with new organs. The solution are stem cells that are artificially created in order to replace damaged organs.

　　　　ARMA poses many advantages on the topic of regenerative medicine but like all technology it comes with its own positive and negative consequences. Although nanobots and stem cells make an amazing pair they can present harmful effects, but the benefits definitely outweigh the negative consequences. This technology can cause some harm and damage when it enters the body.

Contemporary scientific progression and discourses allude to the emergence of an increasingly technological future. Implicit within this notion is the premise that emerging technologies can be used to open new frontiers that benefit and promote human advancement. Intuitively, this stipulation can be extrapolated to medicine where present technologies play a critical mantle in upholding the therapeutic and traditional aims of medical doctrine. But beyond conventional medical applications of technologies, many have begun to recognize their underlying potential for not only treatment, but enhancement of our present biological state.

SINcE I hAVE ALwAYS BEEN INTErESTEd in science and technology, I subscribed to many research magazines, including Popular Science and Scientific American. However, until 10th grade, I never had the opportunity to contribute to medical research—something that I had always wanted to do. Then, one day I read an article titled “Print Me a Pancreas, Please” in Popular Science, which described novel tissue engineering research involving modification of off-the-shelf inkjet printers to print out living cells in a “bioink” solution. Having read much about tissue engineering, I realized this “organ printing” approach could potentially address problems of traditional tissue engineering methods, such as the need to precisely place specific cell types in 3D scaffolds. I was so excited that I came up with a few ideas of my own about advancing the

Dozens of doctors and scientists have jumped in on stem cell research, in an attempt to figure out how to transform stem cells into new organs and tissue for patients whose life depends on it. At a local private research university in Evanston, Illinois, a team of scientists have created an artificial female reproductive system; "The team of researchers, from Northwestern University, the University of Illinois at Chicago and Draper Laboratory, published the results of their study in Nature Communications on Tuesday. The model, fabricated with human and mouse tissue and named Evatar, can be used to test drugs, with implications for women dealing with painful periods, infertility and other conditions" (The New York Times 1). Brilliant scientists around the world can come up with effective ways

With time, funding, and more research, there may be a day where patients needing any type of organ or tissue type may be able to get exactly what they need, made from their own cells, in a very short turn-around time. This will ultimately increase the lifespan of many and may even increase their quality of life.

Nanobots are invented to solve problems concerning cancer. Uncontrolled mitosis leads to cancer which have higher tendency to happen when mechanism that controls the cell is distrupted. In 2012, according to the World Health Organization, cancer is one of the leading cause of fatal. In Canada, approximately 30% of deaths are caused by cancer and abouy 191,300 new cases of cancer are expected in the year 2014. Annually, 14.1 milllon of new cases were reported while globally, there were 8.2 billion of deaths. Cancer cells need to compete with normal cells to obtain sufficient nutrient and energy for growth. Cancer cells divide out of control and are able to able to spread to other cell, tissue and organ which will result in malfunction and death.

AIDS is the HIV virus that is capable of destroying the immune system. The HIV virus attack the WBC’s and convert into the HIV. Nanorobot performs the inverse process of the HIV. The HIV convert the WBC in a faster manner .So the conversion by the HIV Nanorobot should also be very much faster than that of the HIV, so that a constant level of WBC’s are maintained in the blood stream. Patient have costant immune system. The nanorobotics working is at least five times greater than that of the HIV conversion rate.

The chip technology is new to researchers and it takes years to make it the routine of medical and drug research field. But I believe it’s worthy to investigate financial and human resources in this technology. The good and hopeful part is that researchers have got the main organs such as kidney , liver, heart, gut and lungs. I noticed that it is mentioned in the articles that researchers are having hard time to create skin tissues and specially brain functions since human brain is extremely advanced. The development of body organ simulator chips will cause a revolution in drug discovery field as it give more accurate and precise results. Besides, animals can be saved from going through the hurtful medical experiments. During recent years, it’s been tried to simulate body organs for transplantation and creating organs on chips is the continues step to understand the inside of human body

Nanotechnology is the development of atoms in a certain object. Nanotechnology has become very popular in the past few years. It is a way to rebuild the systems of life. To make systems move faster than ever before. Nanometer is about 10 times the size of an atom. Each of these has a huge effect on a system. Still there are questions out there that keep people wondering how important nanotechnology is to us. Many wonder how will it affect them and if we should continue this research. I myself wondered about nanotechnology. After researching this topic I have learned new and interesting facts to help me understand the entire concept.
