Outline Introduction Cell repair Machines FeaturesApplications of Cell Repair Machines Limits and Feasibility of Cell Repair Machines Nano Medicine RespirocytesOngoing Research Nano Horrors
Cell Repair MachinesMedical Nano Robots (Molecular technology and AI)Will change medicine at its foundations A system including nanocomputers and molecular scale
sensors and tools, programmed to repair damage to cells and tissues
A fundamental break through : these machines will free medicine from the reliance of self repair as the only path to healing
Selective Destruction : example cancerous cells , recognize and destroy a specific kind of cell
Nature's own cell repair machines are limited in their ability
Features Size
micron scale robot with nano scale parts , parts would be from
1 to 100 nm , the actual machine would be 0.5 to 3 microns
Bio Compatibility Passive Diamond coating , because of its inert nature , not
attacked by the immune system Powering
Metabolize local glucose and oxygen for energy Clinical environment acoustic energy
Communication Broadcast acoustic type messages Device similar to an Ultra Sound Probe Acoustic sensors Internal communication network
Navigation : a navigational network with
station keeping navigational elements providing high positional accuracy
Accurate positions could be reported to the physician using the internal communication network
Applications of cell Repair Machines Drug Delivery
Sophisticated ways Target specific ,enable the use
of lower doses of medicine Side effects may be minimized
and stronger medicine could be used
Trigger based , will release medicine when needed example Insulin delivery
Correcting Genetic Disorders Comparing the strand of
nucleotides segment by segment Changing the nucleotides within a
DNA so that it matches a correct pattern
Anesthesia plus interrupting metabolism of the body for hours, days or years resulting
in a condition of bio statis( a stoppage or stable state) Bio statis provides deep anesthesia , thereby physicians can work for
more time Used in the case of emergencies Can be achieved using molecular machines
Molecular machines injected into the blood stream enter each cell , block the molecular machinery for metabolism , the water is displaced using other molecular devices
Reversing bio statis When it is time to wake up the patient , the process of resuscitation is started
by the doctor , repair machines remove packing around molecules replace it with water and unblock the metabolic machinery
Astronauts as a one way travel
Establishing Health State of health is established
Recognize the differences between the healthy tissue and the diseased tissue and rectify those differences
Immune system the body’s immune system is
limited in its capabilities Immune machines :- Medical nano
machines, which could be programmed to respond to anything encountered by the world of medicine .
Disease of Aging Damaged molecular machinery Misarranged structures , low
enzymes
Limits and Feasibility of Cell Repair machines Developing cell repair
machines requires great effort ,knowledge and skill, tremendous development in Artificial Intelligence
An exact answer cannot be given to the question “ when will cell repair machines be available “
Loss of information through obliteration of structure imposes the most important fundamental limit to the repair of tissue
Cell repair machine destroying a cancer cell
NanoMedicine Nano medicine is an interdisciplinary field of science , even
a simple project needs contributions from physicists, engineers , material chemists , biologist and end users such as an orthopedic surgeon
Molecular nano technology and molecular manufacturing are key enabling technologies
Analyzing and repairing human body just as we repair any other machine
Applications Miniaturizing surgery Tissue reconstruction Eliminating all common diseases , all the medical pain and
suffering
Respirocyte A proposed nano robot , artificial red blood cell Of the order of 1 micron Spherical nano robot made of 18 billion atoms A pressure tank which can be pumped upto 9 billion Oxygen O2
and CO2 molecules By the virtue of its pressure sensors it releases Oxygen or Carbon
Dioxide The bottom line is that mimics the action of hemoglobin filled red
blood cells and can deliver 236 times more oxygen per unit volume than a natural red blood cell
Applications Treatment of Anemia Transfusions and perfusions Fetal and Child Related disorders
On Going Research Making Tiny Plastic Particles
to deliver Lifesaving Medicine
Many medications such as therapeutic DNA, insulin and human growth hormone must enter the body through painful injections, but a Johns Hopkins researcher is seeking to deliver the same treatment without the sting
Justin Hanes an assistant professor at the Department of Chemical and BioMolecular Engineering wants to pack the drug into microscopic plastic spheres which can be inhaled
new type of porous polymer particles capable of releasing drugs in an environment resembling the deep lungs

DNA Nanotechnology Self-Assembly of Metallic
Nanoparticles Arrays by DNA
Scaffolding. This NSF-funded project is a done under
the supervision of : Profs. Richard Kiehl (Electrical
Engineering) Karin Musier-Forsyth (Chemistry), Prof Nadrian Seeman (New York
University).
The objective of this exciting multi-disciplinary research project is to use two-dimensional DNA crystals as a scaffolding for the self-assembly of arrays of metallic nanoparticles for the development of new electronic devices.
Chemical Imaging University of Michigan
Raoul Kopelman , Ph.D student (Department Of Chemistry)
Optical nano sensors for real time chemical imaging of cellular membranes and intracellular processes , these sensors will monitor pH, calcium , magnesium , sodium , potassium , chloride , oxygen concentrations within the cells
Nano Horrors Self replicating
Nano Robots A threat to the
existence of human beings
