NANOBOTS - The Artificial Blood

Abstract

Artificial blood is simulated to biological blood to higher extent where it is expected to be used to imitate and accomplish some very important functions of natural blood. Thus, nanobots can be a good alternative to blood transfusion in case of medical emergency too. They have several advantages like possibility of highly targeted delivery which will ultimately decrease the side effects and the need for invasive steps combinedly NANOBOTS—The artificial blood can be great alternative for natural blood and also for combating things like infections, cancer, diagnosis and even by-passing blood-brain barrier and correcting disorders. Nanobots as artificial blood is great gift of nanotechnology but in the wrong hands it could be weaponized to destroy the human body as well as too much dependency will hamper body’s natural defense system.
