Stem Cells and Nanotechnology in Spinal Injury Repair: Difference between revisions

[[File:Borg-nanoprobe.jpg|right|thumb|100px|Nanotechnology schematics.]] Nanotechnology has also found applications in medicine since the early 21st century when mankind first imagined the use of nano (mini) robots to repair the body at a cellular level. One of the most progressive uses of the technology was engineered nanoparticles designed to deliver a variety of elements such as heat and drugs to specific cells, leading to direct treatment of these cells in hopes of reducing damage to healthy cells in the body and allowing for earlier detection of disease or mutations in cells.
