Via KurzweilAI.net — Nanotechnology continues to be a major player in treating cancer.
Nanoparticle Cocktail Targets and Kills Tumors PhysOrg.com, Jan. 13, 2010 Researchers at the National Cancer Institute’s Centers of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence have developed a “cocktail” of two different nanometer-sized particles that work in concert within the bloodstream to locate, adhere to and kill cancerous tumors.
One nanomaterial was designed to find and adhere to tumors in mice and then sensitize tumor cells for the second nanoparticle, which kills the tumors.
