ORIGINAL TITLE: Ido Bachelet DNA nanobots summary with a couple of extra videos
In a brief talk, Bachelet said DNA nanobots will soon be tried in a critically ill leukemia patient. The patient, who has been given roughly six months to live, will receive an injection of DNA nanobots designed to interact with and destroy leukemia cells—while causing virtually zero collateral damage in healthy tissue.
According to Bachelet, his team have successfully tested their method in cell cultures and animals and written two papers on the subject, one in Science and one in Nature.
Contemporary cancer therapies involving invasive surgery and blasts of drugs can be as painful and damaging to the body as the disease itself. If Bachelet's approach proves successful in humans, and is backed by more research in the coming years, the team’s work could signal a transformational moment in cancer treatment.
If this treatment works this will be a medical breakthrough and can be used for many other diseases by delivering drugs more effectively without causing side effects.
******************************
At the British Friends of Bar-Ilan University's event in Otto Uomo October 2014 Professor Ido Bachelet announced the beginning of the human treatment with nanomedicine. He indicates DNA nanobots can currently identify cells in humans with 12 different types of cancer tumors.
A human patient with late stage leukemia will be given DNA nanobot treatment. Without the DNA nanobot treatment the patient would be expected to die in the summer of 2015. Based upon animal trials they expect to remove the cancer within one month.
Within 1 or 2 years they hope to have spinal cord repair working in animals and then shortly thereafter in humans. This is working in tissue cultures.

To Admin Mod: I made the first sentence the headline so that the headline would be more clear.

Good news bump.
Such an amazing development. But read ‘Wool’ by Hugh Howey to see how scary bio-nano technology can become.
"One Trillion 50 nanometer nanobots in a syringe will be injected into people to perform cellular surgery."
we are creating nanobots that are 50 nm in size.
DNA is only 5 nm in size.
Wool by Hugh Howey is exactly the novel that popped into my head when I read this.

Thanks for the suggestion. Never heard of the book, but I found a review and the storyline is interesting.
