Biochemist Richard Gunasekera Examines the Emerging Field of Nanomedicine

Very informative presentation. I would to love more about how these machines are molecularly engineered to specifically target the pathogen and how light can be delivered to deep tissues whether cancer or infection.

I'm not sure I understand the sequence that starts at 32:08 _"Molecular Mechanical Action of Nanomachines"._ Is the little machine drilling through the cell membrane then through the nuclear membrane then chewing up the DNA? What guides it? Why doesn't it just grind away in the cytoplasm where the light would presumably be brighter? And most importantly, why does it only grind up cancer cells and not good cells as well?

[@KenJackson_US]

Ah. He says at 59:08 they can be targeted them by binding them to a specific receptor for a particular cancer cell.

I’m going to biola in the fall!! I’m hype!

This guy seems nice...not insulting him specifically, just my experiences here in the United States with science.

Starting to play God is a dangerous way forward

[@KenJackson_US]

Is that what they're doing? Do you _"play God"_ when you take ibuprofen?

@@KenJackson_US no thankfully I've never had to take any pain killers. One of the many benefits of being a healthy male

Sorry dude, I don't believe anything that comes from John Hopkins Univ.

Abiogenesis can't even happen in the lab with all kinds of designed equipment
