A study in Nature Nanotechnology reveals the potential of urease-powered nanobots to enhance bladder cancer treatment, showing a 90% tumor reduction in a mouse model using radioiodine-loaded nanobots for targeted therapy.
The research, which was conducted on mice, demonstrates how these tiny nanomachines are propelled by urea present in urine and precisely target the tumour, attacking it with a radioisotope carried on their surface.
Remember that party where you were swinging glow sticks above your head or wearing them as necklaces? Fun times, right? Science times, too. Turns out those fun party favors are now being used by a .
