"Urea-Powered Nanorobots Shrink Bladder Tumors by 90% in Single Dose Study"
A study published in Nature Nanotechnology demonstrates that a single dose of urea-powered nanorobots reduced bladder tumors in mice by 90%. These nanorobots, made of porous silica and propelled by urease, were able to accumulate in the tumor and deliver radioactive iodine, resulting in significant tumor size reduction. The innovative technology, developed through collaborative efforts, paves the way for more efficient and cost-effective bladder cancer treatments, potentially reducing hospital visits and treatment costs for patients.
