"The DNA-based nanotransporter developed by Alexis Vallée-Bélisle and his team can transport and deliver precise concentrations of drugs: in this picture, doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic drug. These nanotransporters can also be attached to specific biomolecules to optimize drug distribution. Here, we see a nanotransporter (white) attached to albumin (pink) to maintain doxorubin (light blue) in blood circulation.

The reseachers can use the same transporters for transporting another DNA bites to absolute rightt positions.
The new DNA-based nano-transporters can chemically manipulate to treat cancer. DNA-based medicals can be artificial viruses that are slipping into the wanted cells. Then the DNA, which is programmed cell death can connect itself to the cancer cells or bacteria's genomes and order cancer cells or bacteria to die.
But the same nanomachines can use to reprogram cells. And that thing makes those nanosystems even more interesting than just for a new type of medical work. Artificial viruses can use to reprogram stem cells. And those kinds of things can be the next-generation tools for injury treatments.
The DNA that is transported to some cells can turn them into another one. There is the possibility to turn stem cells into things like neurons simply by switching their genome. But the problem in the case of injuries is that there is needed lots of stem cells. And that thing brings one of the most radical therapies to my mind.
What if we would turn our cells into cancer cells and then return them to healthy cells? That kind of ability makes it possible to create lots of needed cells in a short period. The idea is that the victims' cells will turn into cancer cells in cell cultures.
And then system replaces the DNA of those cells by using healthy DNA. These kinds of therapies are the next-generation tools for fixing things like neural damage. The problem with neural damage is memories or skills that those lost cells involved are gone. Those neurons can also reprogram before they are injected into brain tissue.
The next-generation stem cell therapies can also use to produce neurons or sterile neurons for the microchip industry. Those neurons can communicate with microchips. And that makes it possible to create more powerful and flexible computer systems.
