Resumen de Panacea
Crow talks about a new generation of drugs, which promises stealth, precision, monitoring and cure all in one package. Futurists make much of the prospect of nanobots, tiny, electrically-steered drones that might one day enter the body and cure all from inside. But a new class of minuscule, multifunctional stealth drugs might do much of what nanobots promise with only a fraction of their complexity. Equipped with stealth cloaks to pass through the bloodstream, they know how to protect themselves. They can be programmed to deliver their toxic cargo on cue exactly where it is needed and nowhere else. Tweak them a little more, and they might even diagnose and monitor a disease's progression. And with these medical multi-tools, the smarts are all in the design.
