Please feel free to post more links about medical nanobots

This spawns an idea of mine.
Some parasites specifically enter human cells,
but if we were to make a fake human cell, then use it as a sort of a 'venus-fly-trap' it could trap and digets parasites. These would not be very effective at curing anything, but they would really be nice to have around if they had zero-maintanance and were simple/easy to build.

Any other ideas? =)

Please note, psychotic episodes, shown in the Alien one series of movies.

What you are getting into, when you imitate life exactly, is a competition manifold, between sudo-life and real life.

It is possible now, with the technology we have now, however not the application, to manufacture a synthetic human.

A synthetic human, might not develop the self evaluation programs, that a human would, if placed within the same environment as humans.

Also you would develop phantom viruses, hosted within the syntho-forms of artificial life, that because the human cells, would be so like them, may migrate to human host cells.

To make synthetic humans, you would have to inoculate the humans,. against all of the viruses, that a synthetic human might carry.

If you had the tech to build a trap-cell then it would be simpler and more effective to build a much smaller nanobot that actively goes after parasites instead of floating around waiting for them to come to it.

Yes but one would be harder to build then the other.
One would be animate and have an on-board computer, whilst the other was brainless and simple.

Please. What are your sources? This sounds foolish^.
They are not done reverse engineering the human body yet [genetically], and once they do basically finish reverse engineering the human body they will then begin to upgrade it.

Viruses do not just spontaneously appear within organisms. What you said about "phantom viruses" sounds just plain silly. Do humans contract computer viruses? No, only computers do. If the synthetic human was eventually created, and if it was drastrically different then original humans, it would not be effect by -- or be a carrier of -- new forms of pathogens that could hurt people more then the ones that they already have.

hello
I'm a mechanical engineering student in Ankara Turkiye and nanotechnology is one of my newest interests.
I have read the link you had sent and watched the video

Among the articles and news that I have read about nanotechnology, your idea is one of the most interesting which had excited me a lot.

Thanks for sharing.

Is it possible for the nanobots to replicate by itself once wen they enter the body?

Not for a long time.

Large, complex machines made nano objects.

This is possible to introduce bio-nano-bots into the human system, for the purposes of restructuring.

The problem is, that each lot introduced into the body, either has to be tailored, to that particular area, or instructed, to be a pan-zanthromorphic style of bot, which can blend to a certain criteria?

What is of value here, is that these bots must restructure, without damaging the human lattus, that they find themselves in?

This process might be a slow one, or a process which is rapid, however might or might not be painful?

There is a reversing agent now, that they can send an intrabody signal, to disable these restructuring bots, so they are later gotten rid of by the body.

The problem is, the intent and nature of the DNA helix, as this helix, is multidimensional, within time.

So if one restructures the body, in some way, then later-on, the re-instructions sent to the body, from that particular part of the gene sect.

hariharan bt asked> Is it possible for the nanobots to replicate by itself once wen they enter the body?

Phil answers, Depending on the style of nanobot created, it may or may not reproduce?

What they are getting right now, by guessing, is that in a para-biological way, that we do not understand as of yet, bio-naobots, or others, can conjugate, with the intent of proliferation.

What is at question here, what is this mission goal, within their own multiplication?
