Magnetic Bacteria Carry Anti-Cancer Drugs To Tumor, Polytechnique Montréal Nanorobotics Laboratory Study

Studies have taken place in Canada whereby magnetic bacteria are used to power nano-devices, to help ferry anti-cancer medicines to sites of tumors. Such devices offer faster and more precise drug delivery.

Researchers in Canada have connected microbiology with physics to make what is set to be a major advancement in cancer medicine. Here bacteria that are naturally magnetic are utilized with nanobots to create a vehicle for the targeted delivery of drugs. In trials the nanobots have successfully made contact in hard to reach areas.
