Abstract

Nano/mikromotorlar, enerjiyi harekete dönüştürme kabiliyetine sahip nano veya mikro boyutta makinalardır. Bunlar; kimyasal yakıt ve harici etkenler neticesinde enerjiyi harekete dönüştürme prensibi ile çalışırlar. Bu harici etkenler; manyetik alan, elektrik alan, ultrason ve ışık gibi etkenler olabilir. Farklı tahrik mekanizmalarına sahip nano/mikromotorlar kanser ve bulaşıcı hastalıkların teşhis ve tedavisinde önemli rol oynarlar. Özellikle kanser tedavilerinde en çok tercih edilen yöntem olan kemoterapi ve radyoterapi gibi yöntemlerin insan sağlığı üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri, araştırmacıları nano/mikromotor çalışmalarına yönlendirmiştir. Nano/mikromotorlar; kanserleşmiş hücrenin erken teşhisini mümkün kılması ve geleneksel kanser tedavilerindeki yan etkilerin en aza indirilmesi gibi avantajlara sahiptir. Bu derlemede nano/miktomotorların sınıflandırılması ve sentez yöntemleri ele alınmakla birlikte, nano/mikromotorların kanser teşhis ve tedavisinde kullanımı açıklanmıştır.

Nano/micromotor Technology in Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment

Abstract

Nano/micromotors are machines in the nano or micro scale that are capable of converting energy into motion. They operate on the principle of converting energy into motion through chemical fuel and external factors. These external factors can include magnetic fields, electric fields, ultrasound, and light. Nano/micromotors with different propulsion mechanisms play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. The negative effects of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy on human health have led researchers to focus on nano/micromotor studies. Nano/micromotors have advantages such as enabling early diagnosis of cancer cells and minimizing the side effects of traditional cancer treatments. This review discusses the classification and synthesis methods of nano/micromotors, as well as their use in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
