Nano Medicine

I suggest that you check out some web sites on nano medicine. Simply stated it is breaking medical treatment down to the molecular level. Gene therapy is a form of nano medicine. On a larger scale cancers are being treated with laser technology and surgeons use small microscopic cameras to aid them in surgical procedures. Research is being done now to to go even smaller using nano robots to get into areas of the body that can not safely be accessed now.

The thought of being able to do brain surgery by injecting a nano robot into the blood stream seems like a miracle. It is truly an amazing time that we are living in.
