This podcast explains the concept of surgical nanorobotics, a promising new technology that could revolutionise surgery. The speaker, Ido Bachelet, explains how DNA origami is used to build microscopic robots capable of performing complex surgical tasks. These robots can be programmed to locate and remove target cells, recruit new cells to regenerate tissue, and even deliver drugs to specific locations within the body. The technology has the potential to make surgery more precise, less invasive, and more affordable, ultimately bringing healthcare to those who need it most.
