Ever heard of a cancer treatment so precise it ignores healthy cells? Meet DNA-origami nanorobots—microscopic “lock-boxes” that open only inside tumors and slash growth by up to 70 %.
Watch the full video from “   • The Nano-Robot That Could Cure Cancer?  ”

What You’ll Learn
• How scientists fold strands of DNA into programmable drug-delivery bots
• Why tumor acidity (pH ≈ 6.5) triggers the robot’s lethal payload
• Karolinska Institutet’s breakthrough mouse study—70 % tumor-volume drop
• The future of side-effect-free chemotherapy
