Breakthrough DNA Nanorobots Show Promise in Targeting Cancer Cells

Scientists at Karolinska Institutet develop nanorobots that use DNA origami to selectively kill cancer cells in mice, reducing tumor growth by 70%.

Nanorobots are engineered to activate a kill switch in the acidic environment of tumors.
The DNA origami technique ensures the nanorobots target cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
Researchers observed a significant reduction in tumor size in mice with human breast cancer cells.
The technology aims to provide a more precise and less harmful alternative to traditional cancer treatments.
Further research is needed to test the efficacy and safety of the nanorobots in advanced cancer models and potential human trials.
