Viral Infection

contributed by Robert A. Freitas Jr.

Medical nanorobots could navigate through the bloodstream or tissues, searching for known viral pathogens, and, after detection, rapidly and efficiently disposing of them. Tissue cells already infected with viral genetic material may require DNA repair machines or, in some cases, induction of apoptosis.
