Isaac Asimov's 'Fantastic Voyage' in Real Life: IoBNT for Targeted Drug Delivery

Biological microbes (micro/nano bots) are attached to cargo-carrying apparatus and can deliver disease-fighting drugs, attack tumors, or perform other helpful functions. Targeted drug delivery aims to protect healthy cells of the body by only targeting tumor cells by providing localized medicine on the tumor site only. The Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT) systems comprise biological nanonetworks that sense biological and chemical changes in the environment and send the collected data over the Internet to data centers for further processing.
