r/transhumanism on Reddit: Intra-Body Molecular Communication via Blood- Tissue Barrier for Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IOBNT)
April 11, 2025 -
In the Intra-body nano networks, the bio-nanomachines enter the body through injection into the blood and then navigate autonomously throughout the body to reach the blood capillary network. The blood tissue barrier inside the body forms the main communication pathway for molecular information exchange between the nanomachines as well as between the intra-body nano network and the Bio-Cyber interface in the IoBNT network. Watch the video to learn more about how the Brain Tissue Barrier, the Blood Brain barrier, the Intra-body nanonetwork, and The Bio-Cyber interface all work together in this research in mimicking biology for nano communication.

YES I did use chatGPT to parse the paper: It's 100% simulation and modeling—no wet lab, no hardware, no live implants. Just molecules in silico. Here's what they did do: Built a COMSOL Multiphysics numerical model of molecule transport across capillary walls. Developed a custom MATLAB particle simulator to validate the model—tracks molecule-by-molecule movement under diffusion, flow, degradation, and capillary permeability. Compared the two to ensure the math holds up. Ran a bunch of simulations changing parameters (flow speed, distance, emission duration, permeability, etc.) to see how they affect the molecular "signal" received. What they did not do: No experiments with nanorobots or nanomachines. No animal or human testing. No physical bio-cyber interface prototypes. No integration with actual sensors or drug delivery systems.It's 100% simulation and modeling—no wet lab, no hardware, no live implants. Just molecules in silico. It's a toolbox contribution: if someone were building a real nano-drug-delivery system, this could guide where to place the transmitter, how fast to release the drug, how to interpret signals, or even how to design the capillary interface. Conclusion: Its a modeling tool, nothing more.

Securing Bio-Cyber Interface for the Internet of Bio-Nano Things using Particle Swarm Optimization and Artificial Neural Networks based parameter profiling - ScienceDirect
July 31, 2021 - Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT) is an emerging ICT paradigm that defines a set of networks for communication between natural and artificial nanoscale entities like nano biosensors or genetically engineered bacteria, and Information and Communication (ICT) based applications integrated with the Internet infrastructure Akyildiz, Pierobon, Balasubramaniam and Koucheryavy [1]. IoBNT aims for connectivity and control over non-conventional domains such as the human body.
How do you see the internet of bodies and the internet of bio-nano things playing out?
That’s a lot of jargon and fancy words. This will all cost money to develop, licence and implement. Try explaining this to someone without any real biology or technology knowledge. If they don’t really see the point of this then no investor is going to see the point either. What is connecting every human cell to the internet even meant to accomplish?! More on reddit.com

With the current dominant economic system on earth being capitalism, it’s probably a good thing this is currently in the “emerging framework” pipe-dream phase. Can you imagine if Elon musk wasn’t lying when he said they would cure all neurological illnesses “in about 2 years” with neuralink?

March 3, 2023 - In general, the IoNT infrastructure can be deployed by combining nanodevices with the IoT, sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data analytics [1,4]. The IoNT has spawned numerous new domains, including the Internet of Bio-Nano-Things (IoBNT) and the Internet of Multimedia Nano-Things (IoMNT), which can aid in the development and integration of sophisticated technologies in the healthcare and media and entertainment industries [4,17,22,23,24,25]. The IoMNT architecture includes nano-cameras and photodetectors, which are constructed on a nanoscale and are mostly employed in telecommunications.

r/biology on Reddit: How do you see the internet of bodies and the internet of bio-nano things playing out?
February 13, 2025 -
I've been learning about the internet of bio-nano things (loBNT), internet of bodies, and internet of everything.
Specifically, an idea l've seen referred to as the "cell to internet" paradigm, enabled by 6G. As in, human bodies being connected to the internet down to the cellular level, apparently one cell at a time.
I'm wondering how everyone sees this playing out? Who will get access first to connect their bodies to the internet? How many years away are we from intra body wireless nano networks?
I've also learned of a concept known as "IoBNT terrorism" where cells can be "reprogrammed” from a distance which could cause either sickness or death. How many years away are we from having to worry about "remotely reprogramming" cells?
Will people be able to opt out of the internet of bio-nano things?
Thanks for any insights!

August 7, 2023 - Central to the IoE vision, which draws inspiration from the vast connectivity and diverse networking characteristics of the universe, is the emerging Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT) framework, which encompasses collaborative networks of Bio-Nano Things (BNTs).4 These networks consist of a diverse array of context-aware entities, including biological beings and artificial micro/nanoscale devices, such as engineered bacteria and nanosensors, that interact closely with their natural counterparts in complex biological environments.5 Leveraging the power of nanotechnology and biotechnology with communication and networking tools, IoBNT is poised to seamlessly bridge the digital and biological worlds in ways and at spatiotemporal resolutions that were previously inconceivable.
