• "Nanotechnology may allow treatments that target cancer cells without harming nearby healthy cells."

• "May allow creation of therapeutic agents that have a controlled, time-release strategy for delivering toxins."

“It's not entirely clear how this works to kill bacteria and other microorganisms, but the belief is that these very small droplets, which now pack a lot of energy, somehow fuse with and disrupt the membranes that hold microorganisms together,” LiPuma said. “It basically just blows microorganisms up.”

Mobile nanorobots, if placed into the body may circulate through the blood and lymphs to see if there are any chemical imbalances, monitoring the body's status. Also, if it were placed into the brain, it would have the ability to monitor that brain's functions and status as well.

M:4 Development of medicine in nanotechnology has the ability to cure people with cancer. These nanoparticles can be used to treat a person affected by cancer because they would be engineered to attach itself to the disease cells.

This implant is 8mm wide, but it contains enough nanotechnology to detect heart damage that would have gone unnoticed.
