In the classic 1966 science fiction movie Fantastic Voyage, a submarine equipped with medical devices was miniaturized to create a tiny, nanotech vessel. The fictional submarine, named Proteus, transported scientists through the human body to repair a blood clot in an important diplomat’s brain.
Today, researchers are working on nanotechnologies that do essentially the same thing, though without a miniaturized Raquel Welch. Like the fictional craft Proteus, however, these remarkable “nanovesicles” can travel to specific sites in the body to deliver lifesaving therapies.
