What would be the potential of cellular cybernetics and it be more or less practical than nanoscopic robotics Question
So as I was thinking about characterizations I started thinking about cybernetics, and I started to wonder about the concept of cellular cybernetics and what the possibilities of such technology would be. Now I know basic stuff such as maybe being able to regenerate and possibly form machines but that's usually with nanoscopic robots such as nanites and such, so it made me wonder if it would be worth the trouble to graft cybernetic technology onto individual cells vs just injecting nanoscopic robots into the bloodstream.
What I'm looking for is what could be the potential possibilities for adding cybernetics machinery to a single cell and doing the same process to every cell in the body, what would be the possible ramifications of such technology, and frankly would it even be necessary since the only possibilities I see with nanoscopic cybernetics could also be achieved through nanoscopic robotics as previously stated or even just regular cybernetic implants.
Note: I only put the tag of worldbuilding because I couldn't find a tag for science fiction or cybernetic technology, if anyone knows the proper tags for a question like this I would appreciate it.
