Cell Repair Machines
Medical Nano Robots (Molecular technology and AI)
Will change medicine at its foundations
A system including nanocomputers and molecular scale sensors
and tools, programmed to repair damage to cells and tissues
A fundamental break through : these machines will free medicine
from the reliance of self repair as the only path to healing
Selective Destruction : example cancerous cells , recognize and
destroy a specific kind of cell
Nature's own cell repair machines are limited in their ability
Features
Size
micron scale robot with nano scale parts , parts would be from
1 to 100 nm , the actual machine would be 0.5 to 3 microns
Bio Compatibility
Passive Diamond coating , because of its inert nature , not attacked by
the immune system
Powering
Metabolize local glucose and oxygen for energy
Clinical environment acoustic energy
Communication
Broadcast acoustic type messages
Device similar to an Ultra Sound Probe
Acoustic sensors
Internal communication network
Navigation :
a navigational network with station
keeping navigational elements
providing high positional accuracy
Accurate positions could be
reported to the physician using the
internal communication network
Applications of cell Repair
Machines
Drug Delivery
Sophisticated ways
• Target specific ,enable the use of
lower doses of medicine
• Side effects may be minimized
and stronger medicine could be
used
• Trigger based , will release
medicine when needed example
Insulin delivery
Correcting Genetic Disorders
Comparing the strand of nucleotides
segment by segment
Changing the nucleotides within a DNA
so that it matches a correct pattern
Anesthesia plus
interrupting metabolism of the body for hours, days or years resulting in a
condition of bio statis( a stoppage or stable state)
Bio statis provides deep anesthesia , thereby physicians can work for more time
Used in the case of emergencies
Can be achieved using molecular machines
• Molecular machines injected into the blood stream enter each cell , block the molecular
machinery for metabolism , the water is displaced using other molecular devices
Reversing bio statis
• When it is time to wake up the patient , the process of resuscitation is started by the
doctor , repair machines remove packing around molecules replace it with water and
unblock the metabolic machinery
• Astronauts as a one way travel
Establishing Health
State of health is established
Recognize the differences between the
healthy tissue and the diseased tissue
and rectify those differences
Immune system
the body’s immune system is limited in
its capabilities
Immune machines :- Medical nano
machines, which could be programmed
to respond to anything encountered by
the world of medicine .
Disease of Aging
Damaged molecular machinery
Misarranged structures , low enzymes
Limits and Feasibility of Cell Repair
machines
Developing cell repair machines
requires great effort ,knowledge
and skill, tremendous
development in Artificial
Intelligence
An exact answer cannot be given
to the question “ when will cell
repair machines be available “
Loss of information through
obliteration of structure imposes
the most important fundamental
limit to the repair of tissue
Cell repair
machine
destroying a
cancer cell
NanoMedicine
Nano medicine is an interdisciplinary field of science , even a simple
project needs contributions from physicists, engineers , material
chemists , biologist and end users such as an orthopedic surgeon
Molecular nano technology and molecular manufacturing are key
enabling technologies
Analyzing and repairing human body just as we repair any other
machine
Applications
Miniaturizing surgery
Tissue reconstruction
Eliminating all common diseases , all the medical pain and suffering
Respirocyte
A proposed nano robot , artificial red blood cell
Of the order of 1 micron
Spherical nano robot made of 18 billion atoms
A pressure tank which can be pumped upto 9 billion Oxygen O2 and CO2
molecules
By the virtue of its pressure sensors it releases Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide
The bottom line is that mimics the action of hemoglobin filled red blood cells
and can deliver 236 times more oxygen per unit volume than a natural red
blood cell
Applications
Treatment of Anemia
Transfusions and perfusions
Fetal and Child Related disorders
On Going Research
Making Tiny Plastic Particles to
deliver Lifesaving Medicine
