Allinformation.com- Google has the technology division of the field of science called Google X is formed to create new innovations for the benefit of human life. Recently, Google plans to create a pill to identify cancer in the body.
Google X division head Andrew Conrad on Tuesday (28/10) announced the composition of the pill that will be created.
As quoted by the Telegraph, Wednesday (10/29/2014), oral pills (undrinkable) would eventually enter the bloodstream and can detect cancer cells. According to investigators, the nano particles are magnetic, so it can attract particles of cancer cells.
A magnetic nano particle-sized smaller than a thousandth the width of a red blood cell to be used as a 'tool' detection of cancer-prone places in the body, by attaching themselves to a variety of cell molecules.
When Google X is still in the exploratory stage regarding the number of doses of nano particles to identify cancer and other diseases, scientists will also participate in the development process.
Although still in the research and development, a molecular biologist and head of the Life Sciences team at Google X, Dr. Andrew Conrad optimistic that this pill can be used in five years.
"In the future there will be a test using this pill when you went to the doctor. It's our dream," said Andrew.
If you remember, Dr. Tim Andrew that creates smart contact lenses to measure glucose in the tears of patients with diabetes as well as special cutlery that can detect Parkinson's.
The US government on scientists confidence is also supported by an investment of over 20 billion US dollars.
The process of submission to the FDA of course must be accompanied by complete data, including information on the dose of nano particles that will be used, while Google itself is not yet at that stage.
although this technology is designed to enable people to detect cancer, but these pills will not be sold freely as intended for the prevention of disease and should only be used by doctors.
