In the future, nanomachines will transport medicine to targeted cells.

 In the future, nanomachines will transport medicine to targeted cells. 

Above: Researchers can transform bacteriophage into the nanomachine. The virus's own DNA is replaced by a medical carrier protein or enzyme. The carrier molecule is like a spring and when nanomachine hits the cell, it jumps through the protein shell of the cell.  The ability to use DNA as data storage makes it possible to use artificial DNA molecules to control that kind of nanomachine. 

In some visions, the modified viruses can transport medicines into the right cells. The idea is that the spring protein or enzyme replaces virus DNA. That molecule acts as a carrier for medicine. Then that transformed virus travels to the targeted cell. Then it releases medical molecules in the cell. 

The medical carrier molecule will be equipped with the same enzyme that the virus normally uses to penetrate the targeted cells. Theoretically is quite easy to pull the virus genome out from the protein shell and replace it with a protein that carries medicine. But the mass production of that system is dangerous. 

The new targeted medicines can use the same system that amoeba uses. Then it searches the food. Nano-systems can remove the actors from amoeba or any other cells like bacteria, and use them with nanomechanic medicine carriers. 

The ability to recognize food molecules makes amoebas and immune cells interesting. The protein that the B-cells use to mark dangerous cells activates the process that brings macrophages to destroy non-wanted cells. 

If the researchers can copy this process to a nanomachine that transports medicines. That is a great breakthrough for medical treatment. The nanosystem can simply cut those proteins and ion pumps away from the cells or amoebas. And then that thing can make it possible to create a slime-shell robot where is the ion pump at the front of it. Then the screw-shaped molecule that releases the medicine molecule is the nanomachines shell. 

The way how the cell finds its food is interesting. Sometimes that thing works like this. The particle from the food touches the ion pump. Then, that ion pump stretches the protein. That means that. The protein will travel to the food without brains. 

When the particle travels through an ion pump. It activates electric or chemical processes. So the thing that can make the cell move to the food can be osmosis. Or it can be electric. The thing is that the protein pulls the cell to the object which is the food. 

The thing that makes this process interesting is this. If the protein can travel to the point, that is marked with a selected chemical mark, that gives a new way to transfer medicals or DNA to the selected cells. The nanotechnical tool that transports molecules to the targeted cells can be taken from the amoebas.

The idea is that the protein that carries the medicine is equipped with a slime shell and a similar ion pump that the cells and amoebas recognize as their food. When that nanorobot faces the targeted cell. It drives the medicine molecule in the cell. And that is the new way to make targeted medicines. That denies the medicine molecule contact with a non-controlled environment before it travels to cells. That allows to create of more effective and complicated medicines.
