Equip motor for human cells

First, scientists have placed the engine inside human cells and drove them to move under the influence of magnetism.

In an effort to improve therapies aimed at specific areas of the human body, American scientists have found a way to control the direction of human cells with tiny metal motors.

These micro-machines, with a width of a few thousand nanometers, use ultrasound as a thrust and break the direction with magnets.

Previously, experts had successfully implanted the engine into an artificial experimental device, but this was the first time nano-motors were tested in human living cells.

'This is the most vivid proof that it is possible to use artificial nano engines to study organisms in new directions,' says Physorg quoted Professor Tom Mallouk of Pennsylvania State University.

In addition, this method can be used to treat cancer as well as other diseases, by manipulating infected cells from within.

The discovery marks a new step in the field of making molecular machines, which can be used to release drugs at specific places in the human body, while increasing the effectiveness of drugs while reducing darkness. Minor side effects.
