Recently scientists have created a new type of a robot, made entirely from DNA strands. The robot is said to be programmed in order to identify and kill cancer cells. So far the robot has been programmed to attack leukemia and lymphoma cells in a laboratory dish. The robot delivers immune system antibodies that kill the cancer cells or cause them to destroy themselves. The technology is still not commercially available, however.
