Scientists have created a robot made entirely from DNA that can be instructed to find diseased cells in the body and deliver a payload to kill or reprogram them, according to a study from Harvard University.

The robot was constructed by folding DNA strands into a shape that looks roughly like a clamshell. The researchers programmed the nano-sized device to open in the presence of leukemia and lymphoma cells in a laboratory dish, where they delivered immune system antibodies that caused the cells to self-destruct, according to a report in the journal Science.

On a more serious note this is really awesome [good]

Haha. Nanorobots made from DNA! How cool is that?!

In the last couple months I've read more about potential cures or preventions for cancer than I have in the last 10 years of my life.

I'd be nice if someone could get something out to market in time to save my Grandma...

I reckon we'll have a cure for most kinds of cancer in the next 100 years.

I think that is even being overly safe in estimates.

This sounds great now let's see how it holds up. Science and skeptic blogs will probably be reporting on this heavily for the next week or so at the least.
