鷺沼診療所 | 日記 | 癌の早期発見が可能に！

米国Googleの月探査グループGoogle Xは内服で癌の早期発見を行うシステムを開発中であるとGoogleライフサイエンスチームのトップが発表し世間を驚かせています!ナノ粒子を利用したカプセルを内服し、目的の細胞に結合すると手首に取り付けたウェアラブル端末で血流中の成分を瞬時に表在静脈から解析して癌を発見する優れものです。詳細は下記をご覧ください！
Google's moonshot group Google X is working on a pill that, when swallowed, will seek out cancer cells in your body. It'll seek out all sorts of diseases, in fact, pushing the envelope when it comes to finding and destroying diseases at their earliest stages of development. This system would face "a much higher regulatory bar than conventional diagnostic tools," so says Chad A. Mirkin, director of the International Institute for Nanotechnology at Northwestern University.Word comes from the Wall Street Journal where they've got Andrew Conrad, head of the Life Sciences team at the Google X research lab speaking during their WSDJ Live conference. This system is called "The Nano Particle Platform," and it aims to "functionalize Nano Particles, to make them do what we want."
