<p>Researchers from Polytechnique Montr&amp;eacute;al developed type of nano robotic agents that moves through the bloodstream,administer with the drug for specifically targeting cancerous cells of tumors.This important achievement towards cancer research done by the researcher of Polytechnique Montr&amp;eacute;al, Universit&amp;eacute; de Montr&amp;eacute;al and McGill University.</p><p>The research article has  recently appeared in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.</p><p>&amp;quot;These legions of nanorobotic agents were actually composed of more than 100 million flagellated bacteria -- and therefore, self-propelled -- and loaded with drugs that moved by taking the most direct path between the drug&#039;s injection point and the area of the body to cure,&amp;quot;By: Professor Sylvain Martel head of the research team and Director of the Polytechnique Montr&amp;eacute;al Nanorobotics Laboratory.</p><p>&amp;quot;The drug&#039;s propelling force was enough to travel efficiently and enter deep inside the tumors”<br /><br /><a href="http://www.srlchem.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="http://www.microbiozindia.com/images/ASX.png" alt="" /></a></p><p>Just after entering in tumor the nanorobotic agents identify the less oxygen area in tumors, named: Hypoxic region and delivered drug to them.
