Nanotechnology kills cancer cells Support Apolyton

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4734507.stm

quote:
The carbon nanotubules used by the Stanford team are only half the width of a DNA molecule, and thousands can easily fit inside a typical cell.

Under normal circumstances near-infra red light passes through the body harmlessly.

But the Stanford team found that if they placed a solution of carbon nanotubules under a near-infra red laser beam, the solution heated up to about 70C in two minutes.

They then placed the tubules inside cells, and found they were quickly destroyed by the heat generated by the laser beam.

Dr Dai said: "It's actually quite simple and amazing. We're using an intrinsic property of nanotubes to develop a weapon that kills cancer."


Now, this is good news.

Suffering from ads?

I still want to know why people want to omit radiation instead of emit radiation?

Seriously, how would you deliever these nanotubules to only cancer cells.

Same way gene therapy is done; programmed viruses.

We don't use gene therapy on people yet, AFAIK.

wow - i find science like this quite mind-blowing, as it leads to the question "what will they do next?" - and the possibilities are endless.
Not sure if i'd be comfortable with little nano-tubes floating around my system(but then if i had cancer i wouldn't be choosy)?
